Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

The sea at Adak
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.1 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
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 11 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west (rough).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with waves, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, strong wind 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.

The moon in Adak
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,431 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:39–5:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:11–6:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:14–2:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:05–9:05 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.
