Questions and quick answers
Low water is the signal; the shoreline is the decision.

- The lowest predicted daylight low in this seven-day outlook is 0.7 ft MLLW at 1:24 PM AKST on Wednesday, September 2. The page shows a broad 11:54 AM–2:54 PM planning window, but local access, surf, weather, and closures still decide whether the shoreline is usable.
- When is the next minus tide near PROTECTION POINT, NUSHAGAK BAY, AK?
- No low below 0.0 ft MLLW appears in this seven-day outlook. The 2026 annual tide table lists the station's full minus-tide calendar.
- What does a negative or minus tide mean?
- A minus tide is a predicted low below 0.0 ft on the local MLLW datum. It does not mean the ocean has no water, and MLLW zero is not directly comparable between distant stations.
- Does NOAA station 9465056 identify a tidepool beach?
- No. NOAA station 9465056 supplies the local prediction reference used here. It does not confirm a beach, legal access, parking, exposed habitat, safe surf, or the timing of water behind sandbars and channels. Check the specific park, beach, or land manager before going.
- How early should I arrive before low tide?
- This page shows a broad window from 90 minutes before to 90 minutes after the predicted low. Favor the falling side when local guidance allows, keep watching the route back, and leave earlier when surf, wind, terrain, darkness, or access rules require it.
