Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:23 am 11.5 ft · coef. 95
  • ▼ Low tide 8:54 am 2.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:50 pm 14.5 ft · coef. 93

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 17 min to low tide at 9:45 pm.

Tide coefficient 95 for the 3:23 am high tide and 93 for the 2:50 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 16.5 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 November 25 (15.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-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 came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 98, 16.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 29, 6.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Busby Island station (NOAA), 4.2 mi from Tatitlek. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Valdez reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Tatitlek

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · calm, Beaufort 0
Waves 0.5 ft · 8.2 s from the south (182°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 6.5 s from the south
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph W · gusts 4

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:50 pm to 3:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:30 am to 10:00 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
  • 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:06–5:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 1:56–2:56 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:11–6:11 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.
