Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 10:00 am 2.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:05 pm 20.8 ft · coef. 95
- ▼ Low tide 10:35 pm -3.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 7 min to high tide at 5:13 am.
Tide coefficient 98 for the 4:26 am high tide and 95 for the 4:05 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 24.2 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 December 25 (21.4 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-5.4 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 28 (coefficient 100, 24.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 26, 7.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Port Graham station (NOAA), 0.1 mi from Port Graham. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Seldovia reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Port Graham
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 7.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the 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.

Diving in Port Graham today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:00 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:20 am
- 2.5 ft surface waves
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.7 mph current toward the north-northwest (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 4:26 am (4:00–4:50 am), low tide 10:00 am (9:40–10:20 am), high tide 4:05 pm (3:40–4:30 pm) and low tide 10:35 pm (10:20–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.3 ft at 4 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 46.0 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:07 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 6:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, lines up with slack water at low tide, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:56–4:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:27–5:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:49–2:49 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:01–7:01 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.
