2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on January 30 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on November 28 (-4.8 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
Killiecrankie has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 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.
The sea at Killiecrankie
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 59.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Surf in Killiecrankie today
Surf today
Poor- 3.4–5.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 2.8 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 5.0 ft wind swell at 6 s: messy waves
- Fresh onshore wind (18 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:35 am)
- Light: First light 5:34 am · sunrise 6:02 am · sunset 7:43 pm · last light 8:12 pm
- Tide: high 1:37 am (3.0 ft), low 7:35 am (-2.1 ft), high 1:25 pm (3.3 ft) and low 8:04 pm (-4.3 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 58.1 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 213 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Killiecrankie today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (8:04 pm): little current from 7:40 pm to 8:30 pm
- 5.4 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Moderate onshore wind (18 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the south-southwest, weak (model)
- Low light: twilight
- Slack water today: high tide 1:37 am (1:10–2:10 am), low tide 7:35 am (7:00–8:00 am), high tide 1:25 pm (1:00–1:50 pm) and low tide 8:04 pm (7:40–8:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.1 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:12 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 pm to 8:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with waves, moderate wind and low light. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 8:30 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 12:50 pm to 1:30 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:07–8:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:16 pm–12:16 am 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.

- 33 ft deep2.4 mi
- 66 ft deep2.5 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 700 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.4 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
