2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (12.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (0.4 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Kulusuk has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tasiilaq (TICON-4), 5.5 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common6.0 ft
- Significant12 ft
- Highest expectedHighest24 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 24 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 24 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 14 ft with a period of 14 s, from the south (very rough).

Surf in Kulusuk today
Surf today
Fair- 5.2–7.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- Big surf (7.9 ft): for experienced surfers
- 5.5 ft swell at 10 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Very strong offshore wind (47 mph): so strong it's hard to get into waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 6:57 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:15 am · sunrise 8:11 am · sunset 4:13 pm · last light 5:09 pm
- Tide: low 12:29 am (1.8 ft), high 6:46 am (11.8 ft), low 1:03 pm (3.0 ft) and high 6:57 pm (10.4 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 34.2 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 766 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and very strong 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 Kulusuk today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 11 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Very strong offshore wind (59 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 1.2 mph current toward the west-southwest, strong (model)
- Low light: twilight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 12:29 am (12:10–12:50 am), high tide 6:46 am (6:30–7:10 am), low tide 1:03 pm (12:40–1:30 pm) and high tide 6:57 pm (6:30–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 10 s), rain (1.94 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 34.2 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:09 pm. Waning gibbous (84%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window runs from 7:10 am to 10:10 am, though with tidal current, waves, very strong wind, current and low light.
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- 2:01–4:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:33–4:33 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 1.6 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 1.6 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out.
