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

The sea at Itilleq
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 8.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

- Tide: low 3:21 am (0.9 ft), high 9:48 am (14.2 ft), low 4:12 pm (1.9 ft) and high 10:01 pm (11.0 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: 34 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and 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.
Diving in Itilleq today

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 9:30 am to 10:40 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 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.
