Tides in Emmonak
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:35 am -0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:33 am 0.0 ft · coef. 104
- ▼ Low tide 10:44 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 8:35 pm 1.8 ft · coef. 109
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 43 min to high tide at 8:35 pm.
Tide coefficient 104 for the 8:33 am high tide and 109 for the 8:35 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.2 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 July 14 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 21 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 30 (coefficient 115, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 9 (coefficient 21, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Emmonak station (NOAA), 0.8 mi from Emmonak. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Emmonak
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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: 4.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 (+2.6 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Emmonak
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:49–5:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:21–6:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 4:36–5:36 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:00–6:00 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.
