↓ Falling The tide is falling. 28 min to low tide at 7:14 am.

Tide coefficient 98 for the 1:40 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.4 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 25 (3.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.2 ft).

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

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Butag has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Butag

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.4 ft · 2.4 s from the east-southeast (102°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 2.2 s from the east-southeast
Current 2.5 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NE · gusts 16
Offshore (10.0 mi SSE)Offshore 16 mph ENE · gusts 22

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.

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:40 pm to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 7:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:40 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:47–2:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:00–9:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:38–8:38 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.
