↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 4 min to low tide at 12:54 am.
Tide coefficient 79 for the 6:58 am high tide and 80 for the 7:18 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 22 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on April 15 (0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. 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 (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 22 to 25 (coefficient 81, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 13 (coefficient 40, 0.8 ft).

The sea at Skoger
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Wednesday 28: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:10 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm, with small waves, 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.
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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:10–3:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:22 am–12:22 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:52–4:52 pm Minor · moonrise · medium 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 310 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,200 ft.
From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Skoger) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep220 ft
- 33 ft deep310 ft
- 66 ft deep550 ft
- 164 ft deep1,200 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 37 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 310 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
