Tides in Mekoryuk
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:31 am 6.7 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Low tide 7:19 am 1.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:25 pm 8.5 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Next low tide 8:10 pm -1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 16 min to low tide at 8:10 pm.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 1:31 am high tide and 82 for the 1:25 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 9.6 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 June 17 (9.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 17 (-1.9 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 85, 10.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 21 (coefficient 46, 5.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Mekoryuk station (NOAA), 2.2 mi from Mekoryuk. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Mekoryuk
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (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 40.9 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Surf in Mekoryuk today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.2 ft swell at 6 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:10 pm)
- Light: First light 9:34 am · sunrise 10:19 am · sunset 7:17 pm · last light 8:02 pm
- Tide: high 1:31 am (6.7 ft), low 7:19 am (1.2 ft), high 1:25 pm (8.5 ft) and low 8:10 pm (-1.1 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 43.0 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 33 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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 Mekoryuk today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Some tidal current
- 2.4 ft swell at 4 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 1:31 am (1:10–2:00 am), low tide 7:19 am (6:50–7:40 am), high tide 1:25 pm (1:00–1:50 pm) and low tide 8:10 pm (7:50–8:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 14 s), rain (1.00 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.0 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 8:02 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 7:11 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:40 pm to 7:20 pm, combines light wind and weak current, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 2:20 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:55–5:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:28–6:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 3:10–4:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:41–7:41 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.

Water depth

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
