Tide coefficient 96 for the 1:25 am high tide and 92 for the 1:48 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.8 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 December 26 (10.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.5 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 100, 8.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 30, 2.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Leland station (Kartverket), 0.0 mi from Leland. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Træna reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Leland
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.3 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
Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.2 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 44.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Diving in Leland today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (1:48 pm): little current from 1:30 pm to 2:10 pm
- 5.8 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Moderate onshore wind (15 mph)

- Night dive: dark from 4:47 pm. Waning gibbous (85%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with waves and moderate wind.
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 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:31–3:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 260 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 700 ft.
From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Leland) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep260 ft
- 66 ft deep550 ft
- 164 ft deep700 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 260 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) 2.9 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
