About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Nuka Passage from the Seward, Resurrection Bay station: high tides about 1.09× the height, 11 min later; low tides about the same height, 12 min later.
Upper Cook Inlet has some of the largest tides on Earth — ranges past 30 ft, powerful rips, and bore tides on Turnagain Arm. Winter ice can push actual water levels well off the predictions.
