About this station
PRUDHOE BAY 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.
The Arctic coast sees the smallest tides in Alaska, sometimes under a foot. Wind setup and ice matter far more than the moon up here, and the open-water season is short.
