Tides in Brevig Mission
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 7:00 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:18 pm 1.1 ft · coef. 86
- ▼ Next low tide 7:31 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 28 min to low tide at 7:31 pm.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 12:18 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 April 22 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 28 (-0.2 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US 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. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 98, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 22 (coefficient 27, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Brevig Mission has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Teller (NOAA), 6.1 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 Brevig Mission
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 35.2 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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: high- 3:57–5:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:29–6:29 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.
