Tides in Naknek
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:09 am 4.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:51 am 16.5 ft · coef. 76
- ▼ Low tide 11:22 am -1.3 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 5:46 pm 21.5 ft · coef. 77
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 57 min to high tide at 5:46 pm.
Tide coefficient 76 for the 4:51 am high tide and 77 for the 5:46 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 22.8 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 (23.0 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-3.6 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 28 to 31 (coefficient 79, 23.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 21 (coefficient 55, 15.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Naknek has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Naknek (NOAA), 1.1 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 Naknek
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west 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 Wednesday 28: 5.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southeast (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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:50 pm to 6:10 pm, lines up with slack water at high tide, though with fresh 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.

The moon in Naknek
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:17–5:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:49–5:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:02–3:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:32–7:32 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.
