↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 43 min to low tide at 10:38 pm.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 3:47 am high tide and 90 for the 3:31 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 12.6 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 December 24 (14.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above lower low water, large tide (LLWLT), the zero of Canadian charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. LLWLT
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 95, 12.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 32, 5.7 ft).

The sea at Old Massett
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Wednesday 28: 5.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 48.5 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Old Massett today
Surf today
Poor- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 2.6 ft swell at 7 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 3.9 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:27 am)
- Light: First light 8:05 am · sunrise 8:42 am · sunset 6:22 pm · last light 6:59 pm
- Tide: high 3:47 am (10.8 ft), low 9:27 am (4.4 ft), high 3:31 pm (13.6 ft) and low 10:38 pm (1.0 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.

- Energy: 100 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:05 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:50 pm to 4:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with waves and moderate wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:05–5:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:24–1:24 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:43–7:43 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2 mi): 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
