Wind and weather at Anchorage

Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.

Boating, beach and fishing at Anchorage

The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.

Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Sun and moon

Solunar windows for Anchorage

The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Times are local to Anchorage (America/Anchorage).

Questions about Anchorage tides

Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above; the solunar windows come from this page's own moon calculation. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.

What time is high tide in Anchorage today?

High water at 9:13 am (31.2 ft) and 9:24 pm (31.9 ft), local time in Anchorage. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.

What time is low tide in Anchorage today?

Low water at 3:51 am (-0.3 ft) and 3:57 pm (0.7 ft), local time in Anchorage. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.

How many tides does Anchorage get in a day?

Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 13 high waters and 14 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.

What is the tidal range at Anchorage?

About 32.3 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between -0.3 and 31.9 ft — a span of about 32.3 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.

Which tide station do these Anchorage tide times come from?

NOAA station 9455920 — a reference station. Knik Arm at the port of Anchorage. Cook Inlet has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.

What time zone are the Anchorage tide times in?

Every time on this page is clock time in Anchorage — the America/Anchorage zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.

When are the solunar windows at Anchorage today?

The major windows run 2:36 am to 4:36 am and 2:59 pm to 4:59 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Anchorage, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 8% lit and waxing.
