Big Anchorage Tides
Upper Cook Inlet has the highest tides in the United States and range almost 40 feet. NOAA tide predictions for Port of Alaska typically range between low tides down to minus five feet and high tides that exceed plus 33 feet, with a mean daily tide range of 26.2 feet. Anchorage’s extreme tides are driven by Upper Cook Inlet’s constricted geography and the configuration of northern hemisphere land masses. Local weather conditions intensify Anchorage’s tide fluctuations. Click on these video links to see how tides influence Port of Alaska operations.
