Where this tide comes from
Sermiligaaq has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tasiilaq (TICON-4), 28 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 Sermiligaaq
Sea stateSea state: very rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common7.8 ft
- Significant16 ft
- Highest expectedHighest31 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 31 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 31 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 16 ft with a period of 9 s, from the east-northeast (very rough).

Diving in Sermiligaaq today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 14 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 1.0 mph current toward the west-northwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
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 16 ft) and rain (2.44 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 31.3 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:04 pm. Waning gibbous (84%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:10 pm, combines light wind and the sun high, though with waves and 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.
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- 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 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.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
