Tides in Toksook Bay
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:13 am 10.1 ft · coef. 80
- ▼ Low tide 8:22 am 2.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:58 pm 9.0 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Low tide 8:30 pm -1.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 56 min to high tide at 3:04 am.
Tide coefficient 80 for the 2:13 am high tide and 81 for the 1:58 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 11.1 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 (11.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 17 (-2.0 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 29 to 31 (coefficient 84, 11.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 21 (coefficient 48, 7.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Nelson Island station (NOAA), 1.5 mi from Toksook Bay. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Toksook Bay
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Monday 2: 8.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south-southeast (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
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 41.8 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Diving in Toksook Bay today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 2.4 ft swell at 6 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (7 mph)
- 1.1 mph current toward the south-southeast (model)
- Daylight

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.6 ft at 6 s), rain (0.67 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.0 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:57 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 7:04 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, lines up with light wind, though with tidal current and current. Also worth a look from 12:50 pm to 2:50 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate 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 Toksook Bay
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:51–5:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:23–6:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 3:08–4:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:34–7:34 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.
