Tide coefficient 95 for the 3:10 am high tide and 92 for the 2:52 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 22.3 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 24 (20.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-4.4 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 97, 22.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 30, 8.7 ft).

The sea at West Juneau
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach West Juneau: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:19–1:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:06–6:06 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.
