Tides in Quinhagak
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:03 am 13.0 ft · coef. 63
- ▼ Low tide 7:31 am 1.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:52 pm 5.1 ft · coef. 63
- ▼ Next low tide 5:52 pm 1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 56 min to low tide at 5:52 pm.
Tide coefficient 63 for the 12:03 am high tide and 63 for the 12:52 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 12.0 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 January 1 (15.3 ft) and the lowest, on January 29 (-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 came from October 6 to 10 (coefficient 75, 11.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 26 to 30 (coefficient 63, 12.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Quinhagak station (Kwinak, NOAA), 0.1 mi from Quinhagak. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Quinhagak
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 8.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southwest (rough).
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 40.6 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Quinhagak today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.4 ft swell at 5 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:52 am)
- Light: First light 9:16 am · sunrise 10:00 am · sunset 7:02 pm · last light 7:46 pm
- Tide: high 12:03 am (13.0 ft), low 7:31 am (1.4 ft), high 12:52 pm (5.1 ft) and low 5:52 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 41.4 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 55 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 pm to 7:46 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period 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 Quinhagak today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (5:52 pm): little current from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm
- 4.8 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 12:03 am (11:30 pm–12:30 am), low tide 7:31 am (7:00–8:10 am), high tide 12:52 pm (11:30 am–1:40 pm) and low tide 5:52 pm (5:00–6:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.60 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 41.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:46 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 7:06 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 1:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate 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- 3:38–5:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:10–6:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:39–3:39 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:36–7:36 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. 33 ft of water just 950 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 950 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
