About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Niblack Anchorage, Moira Sound from the Ketchikan station: high tides about 0.94× the height, 3 min later; low tides about 0.96× the height, 9 min later.
Inside Passage waters are sheltered, but the ranges are real: 15 to 20 ft swings are routine, and narrow channels run strong tidal currents on the change. Out here, rain and channel weather matter more than ice.
