Tides in Dillingham
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:29 am 6.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:15 am 16.6 ft · coef. 76
- ▼ Low tide 12:09 pm -0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:32 pm 22.0 ft · coef. 78
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 34 min to low tide at 1:22 am.
Tide coefficient 76 for the 5:15 am high tide and 78 for the 6:32 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 22.5 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 May 20 (24.0 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-2.9 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 29 to 31 (coefficient 83, 24.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 22 (coefficient 52, 9.9 ft).

The sea at Dillingham
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-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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.6 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southeast (moderate).
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 39.9 °F by Tuesday 3.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:40 pm to 6:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:23–5:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:55–5:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:13–3:13 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:34–7:34 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.
