About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Shakan Strait, Kosciusko Island from the Sitka station: high tides about 1.16× the height, 7 min earlier; low tides about 0.95× the height, 10 min earlier.
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.
