Where this tide comes from
Niaqornat has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.7 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 Niaqornat
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the northwest (slight).
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 33.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Niaqornat today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:20 pm)
- Light: First light 8:44 am · sunrise 9:59 am · sunset 4:36 pm · last light 5:51 pm
- Tide: high 12:39 am (0.8 ft), low 6:36 am (-2.8 ft), high 1:43 pm (3.5 ft) and low 8:20 pm (-1.4 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 34.0 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 15 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:51 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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, 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 226,691 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:10–5:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:42–5:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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.
