Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 8:16 am 3.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:07 pm 12.9 ft · coef. 92
  • ▼ Low tide 9:11 pm -1.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 50 min to high tide at 3:34 am.

Tide coefficient 94 for the 2:44 am high tide and 92 for the 2:07 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 14.7 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 December 24 (13.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-3.4 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 26 to 27 (coefficient 97, 14.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 31, 6.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Tuxekan station (NOAA), 2.4 mi from Naukati Bay. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sitka reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Naukati Bay

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 6.3 s from the west (280°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 6.8 s from the west
Current 0.1 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph ENE · gusts 8
Offshore (26 mi S)Offshore 6 mph NNE · gusts 11

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

Water now46.2 °F
Today 46.2–46.6 °F air: 32 / 48 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 49.1 °F measured 1.0 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 8:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:29–6:29 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.
