Common Questions About Point Barrow, AK Tides

Show All
When is the lowest tide this week in Point Barrow, AK?

The lowest tide this week in Point Barrow, AK is 0.0 ft on Monday, Jun 29 at 8:26 am.

When is the highest tide this week in Point Barrow, AK?

The highest tide this week in Point Barrow, AK is 0.4 ft on Tuesday, Jun 30 at 1:46 am — worth noting for launching your boat and being alert for possible high tide flooding.

What time does the tide turn (slack tide) in Point Barrow, AK today?

Slack tide in Point Barrow, AK is approximately 12:05 pm — 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 Point Barrow, AK?

Point Barrow, AK is currently in a transitional phase. Tonight's moon is 69% 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 Point Barrow, 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 Point Barrow, AK?

Tide predictions for Point Barrow, 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 Point Barrow, AK?

Tide data for Point Barrow, AK is sourced from NOAA Station #9495048. View the official NOAA station page at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=9495048.

What time is high tide in Point Barrow, AK today?

High tides in Point Barrow, AK today: 9:16 am (0.2 ft), 9:29 pm (0.3 ft).

What time is low tide in Point Barrow, AK today?

Low tides in Point Barrow, AK today: 3:38 am (0.1 ft), 2:54 pm (0.1 ft).

What is the tidal range in Point Barrow, AK today?

Today's tidal range in Point Barrow, AK is 0.3 ft — the difference between the day's highest and lowest water level. This month's average daily range is about 0.4 ft, so today's swing is typical.

What is the moon phase in Point Barrow, AK tonight?

Tonight the moon over Point Barrow, AK is First Quarter (69% illuminated). This places Point Barrow, AK in a transitional tide cycle, so tidal ranges are shifting between spring and neap this week.

What type of tides does Point Barrow, AK have — semi-diurnal, diurnal, or mixed?

Point Barrow, 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.
