  • ▲ High tide 6:05 pm 4.2 ft · coef. 104

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 25 min to low tide at 11:51 am.

Tide coefficient 107 for the 4:34 am high tide and 104 for the 6:05 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 12.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 22 (5.4 ft) and the lowest, on November 26 (-8.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Pirlangimpi has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Pirlangimpi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.1 ft · 8.6 s from the west-southwest (252°)
Swell 1.0 ft · 7.6 s from the west-southwest
Current 1.1 mph toward the NNE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph ESE · gusts 6
Offshore (12 mi NNE)Offshore 3 mph ESE · gusts 7

Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-southwest (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now88.2 °F
Today 88.2–89.2 °F air: 75 / 94 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 85.1 °F measured 1.3 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 89.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:00 am to 12:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:11–9:11 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:35–10:35 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
