About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Oil Bay, Kamishak Bay from the SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay station: high tides about 0.77× the height, 75 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 76 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.
