- Swimming Dangerous · 8.7 ft
8.7 ft waves every 9 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Where this tide comes from
Atammik has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Atammik v.Timmiakasiit (DMI), 9.4 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Atammik
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-offshore wind. The coast faces west 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: 9.4 ft with a period of 8 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Atammik today
Surf today
Good- 4.8–7.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- Big surf (7.3 ft): for experienced surfers
- 7.9 ft swell at 7 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (high tide at 10:12 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 8:13 am · sunrise 9:06 am · sunset 5:18 pm · last light 6:11 pm
- Tide: low 3:30 am (1.1 ft), high 9:52 am (13.5 ft), low 4:13 pm (1.5 ft) and high 10:12 pm (11.2 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 34.2 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 615 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf and a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf and 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, 9:10 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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 226,691 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:03–5:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:36–5:36 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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.
