Common Questions About Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK Tides

Show All
When is the lowest tide this week in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK?

The lowest tide this week in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is -1.6 ft on Monday, Aug 10 at 5:30 am.

When is the highest tide this week in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK?

The highest tide this week in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is 15.9 ft on Monday, Aug 10 at 11:38 pm — worth noting for launching your boat and being alert for possible high tide flooding.

What time does the tide turn (slack tide) in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today?

Slack tide in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is approximately 7:47 am — midway between the next high and low tide, when tidal current is weakest. This is the preferred window for boat crossings, underwater visibility, and fishing in areas with strong currents.

Is this week a spring tide or neap tide in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK?

Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is currently in a transitional phase. Tonight's moon is 64% illuminated. Spring tides (largest swings) occur near new and full moons; neap tides (smallest swings) occur near first and third quarter moons. Tidal ranges this week are shifting between spring and neap.

What datum are Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK tide heights measured from?

Tide heights on this page are measured from Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the U.S. NOAA standard. A height of 0 ft represents the 19-year average of each day's lower low tide. Negative values indicate a "minus tide" — water levels below that long-term reference.

What factors can affect the tide predictions for Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK?

Tide predictions for Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK come from NOAA's harmonic analysis and are typically accurate within about ±10 minutes on timing and ±0.5 ft on height. Actual water levels can deviate further due to sustained winds, atmospheric pressure changes, river flow, and storm surge. During major weather events, be sure to check US Harbors weather pages for factors that could impact tidal predictions.

Which NOAA station provides tide data for Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK?

Tide data for Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is sourced from NOAA Station #9450314. View the official NOAA station page at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=9450314.

What time is high tide in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today?

High tides in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today: 4:47 am (12.6 ft), 5:08 pm (14.7 ft). The 5:08 pm high of 14.7 ft is notably higher than the other — known as diurnal inequality, common on coasts influenced by lunar declination.

What time is low tide in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today?

Low tides in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today: 10:48 am (1.4 ft), 11:39 pm (1.1 ft).

What is the tidal range in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK today?

Today's tidal range in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is 13.6 ft — the difference between the day's highest and lowest water level. This month's average daily range is about 14.4 ft, so today's swing is below-average.

What is the moon phase in Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK tonight?

Tonight the moon over Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK is Third Quarter (64% illuminated). This places Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK in a transitional tide cycle, so tidal ranges are shifting between spring and neap this week.

What type of tides does Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK have — semi-diurnal, diurnal, or mixed?

Metlakatla, Port Chester, AK has semi-diurnal tides — two high tides and two low tides roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, with similar heights.

US Harbors Tidal Data

The data in our tide charts, tide tables, and tide graphs is provided by NOAA and others. These predictions are derived mathematically from numerous inputs, including data from historical tide stations and nearby locations where sensors are actively recording. As shown in the tide graph at the top of this page, “Predicted” tides (blue) are what forecasting models expect to happen. “Observed” tides (red) are those recorded by local sensors in real time, overlaid on the predictions for direct comparison. We display Observed water levels for a select group of harbors including Portland, Maine, where a physical sensor monitors water levels in real time.
