In short

Tides in Anchorage are mixed, mainly semidiurnal: usually two high and two low waters a day, with neighbouring tides of noticeably different height. Today the range between low and high water is 9.6 m; at spring tides (new and full moon) it reaches 11.2 m, at neap tides about 5.6 m. Cook Inlet has some of the largest tides in the United States; never walk onto the mudflats at low water — the mud grips your feet and the tide returns fast. Predictions use the harmonic constants of the nearest shore point, 0.7 km from the place; points run every 2 km along the coast.

By the water

Good to know in Anchorage

When to walk out at low tide

Next low tide is tomorrow at 04:33 (-4.9 m). The shore is widest for an hour either side of it; head back before the tide turns.

Where to park

Above the high-water mark: the next high tide is today at 21:41, +4.4 m, and the highest this month is +5.4 m. Shore-side stopovers are on the map with the tides layer.

Wind and pressure

Onshore wind and low pressure push the water above the prediction, offshore wind pulls it below. Hourly wind and rain are in the place card on the map.

Offline

In the CAMPLY app the phone calculates the tide itself, so the tide in Anchorage shows even with no signal.

FAQ

Questions about tides in Anchorage

When is high tide in Anchorage today?

High tide at 09:53 (+3.3 m) and at 21:41 (+4.4 m). Low tide at 03:51 (-5.2 m) and at 15:54 (-2.8 m). Local time (UTC−8).

What is the tidal range in Anchorage?

About 9.6 m today. At spring tides (new and full moon) up to 11.2 m, at neap tides about 5.6 m. Heights are relative to mean sea level.

How accurate are the predictions?

They use the harmonic constants of the nearest shore point — the same maths as published tide tables. Wind and air pressure can shift the level by tens of centimetres, so allow a margin at high water. Not for navigation.

Can I walk on the seabed at low tide?

The shore is widest for about two hours around low water. Head back before the tide turns: the water rises fast, and it is easy to get stuck on mudflats.
