About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Port Chatham from the SELDOVIA, Kachemak Bay station: high tides about 0.78× the height, 28 min earlier; low tides about 0.92× the height, 34 min earlier.
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.
