Tides in Diomede
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:22 am 0.9 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 6:22 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:39 pm 1.1 ft · coef. 86
- ▼ Next low tide 6:56 pm -0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 1 min to low tide at 6:56 pm.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 12:22 am high tide and 86 for the 12:39 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 May 20 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 28 (-0.4 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 came from October 12 to 14 (coefficient 92, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 21 (coefficient 36, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Diomede has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tin City (NOAA), 31 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 Diomede
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 9.2 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 5.0 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder 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 38.6 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Diomede today
Surf today
Fair- 2.7–4.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.3 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:39 pm)
- Light: First light 10:01 am · sunrise 10:57 am · sunset 7:01 pm · last light 7:57 pm
- Tide: high 12:22 am (0.9 ft), low 6:22 am (-0.0 ft), high 12:39 pm (1.1 ft) and low 6:56 pm (-0.1 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 41.2 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 89 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:01 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Diomede today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (12:39 pm): little current from 12:20 pm to 1:00 pm
- 4.4 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (12 mph)
- 1.4 mph current toward the north-northeast, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:22 am (12:00–12:50 am), low tide 6:22 am (6:00–6:40 am), high tide 12:39 pm (12:20–1:00 pm) and low tide 6:56 pm (6:40–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 4.4 ft at 10 s), rain (0.55 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 41.2 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:57 pm. Waning gibbous (90%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell 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 Diomede
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 4:07–6:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:39–6:39 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

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
