The best window, 3:50 am to 5:40 am, combines the 4:36 am low tide, a major period, falling pressure and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 9:10 am to 10:30 am, with the 10:09 am high tide, sunrise, falling pressure and some swell, though with fresh wind. Also worth a try from 4:20 pm to 5:30 pm, with the 4:31 pm low tide, moonset, a major period, sunset and some swell, though with strong wind.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:09 am 29.2 ft · coef. 80
  • ▼ Low tide 4:31 pm 5.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:41 pm 31.3 ft · coef. 78

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 36 min to low tide at 4:36 am.

Tide coefficient 80 for the 10:09 am high tide and 78 for the 9:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 33.5 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 March 21 (32.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-4.4 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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 8 to 11 (coefficient 86, 33.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 17.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Hope has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Anchorage (NOAA), 24 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.

Station data attribution: Slackwater database (https://github.com/openwatersio/slackwater-database)

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Hope

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.7 ft · 2.6 s from the east-southeast (111°)
Wind waves — —
Current 2.0 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph ESE · gusts 23

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).

Water now41.5 °F

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 39.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

  • Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft) over the last few days has 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 6:52 pm. Waning gibbous (82%), rising at 6:49 pm: a bright night.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with fresh wind. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves and strong wind.

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
  • 3:51–5:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 4:23–6:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 3:29–4:29 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:19–7:19 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.
