About this station
Naknek, Naknek River is one of NOAA's reference tide stations — its predictions are computed directly from harmonic analysis of water levels observed here, and other nearby stations are calculated from it.
Bristol Bay is shallow and funnel-shaped, which builds respectable ranges and strong currents across the flats — and minus tides drain huge stretches of mudflat. This is salmon country, and summer is the busy season.
