- ▲ High tide 7:18 pm 3.4 ft · coef. 115
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 22 min to low tide at 2:25 am.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 10:59 am high tide and 115 for the 7:18 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 December 23 (4.5 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-1.6 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 28 to 29 (coefficient 115, 4.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 20, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Otter Point station (NOAA), 2.9 mi from Umnak Pass. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Unalaska reference station with the official corrections.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 ft
- Significant6.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 13 ft with a period of 12 s, from the south-southwest (rough).

Surf in Umnak Pass today
Surf today
Poor- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.5 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- 9.1 ft wind swell at 6 s: messy waves
- Strong offshore wind (30 mph): so strong it's hard to get into waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:18 pm)
- Light: First light 9:28 am · sunrise 10:05 am · sunset 7:44 pm · last light 8:21 pm
- Tide: low 2:25 am (-1.0 ft), high 10:59 am (3.3 ft), low 2:44 pm (3.1 ft) and high 7:18 pm (3.4 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 44.4 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 667 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 9:28 am to 1:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

Diving in Umnak Pass today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (10:59 am): little current from 10:30 am to 12:20 pm
- Slack water around low tide (2:44 pm): little current from 1:20 pm to 4:10 pm
- 4.5 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Strong offshore wind (31 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 2:25 am (2:10–2:40 am), high tide 10:59 am (10:30 am–12:20 pm), low tide 2:44 pm (1:20–4:10 pm) and high tide 7:18 pm (6:20–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.8 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.32 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 44.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:21 pm. Waning gibbous (82%), rising at 9:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and strong 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 226,869 mi away and looks 32′ 43″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 5:07–7:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 5:39–7:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 2:59–3:59 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:21–10:21 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 20 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 90 ft.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 316 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 20 ft and 66 ft at 40 ft from shore.
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.
