Your day at a glance
The best window, 2:50 am to 4:20 am, combines the 3:55 am high tide, a major period and falling pressure. Also worth a try from 3:00 pm to 4:50 pm, with the 4:03 pm high tide, a major period and falling pressure, though with moderate wind. Also good from 9:10 am to 11:10 am, with the 10:12 am low tide, moonset and falling pressure.
Species with the most records nearby: winter flounder, Atlantic cod, longfin inshore squid and haddock. October is one of the months when these are seen most: longfin inshore squid and Atlantic mackerel. What you can catch
Beach day in Greenland
Is it a beach day?
- Sunny
- Calm for swimming: 1.6 ft waves
- Low tide at 10:12 am: more sand
- Feels like 61 °F: chilly for the beach
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
- Water at 57 °F (very cold)
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Calm · 1.6 ft
1.6 ft waves: calm for swimming. Low rip current risk. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 57 °F
Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 3 · SPF 15
Max UV 3 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.
- Wind 13 mph
Moderate offshore wind (13 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand 10:12 am
Low tide at 10:12 am and 10:54 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 3:55 am and 4:03 pm.

Tides in Greenland
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 3:55 am 7.3 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 10:12 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:03 pm 8.3 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Low tide 10:54 pm -0.7 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 28 min to high tide at 3:55 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 3:55 am high tide and 82 for the 4:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 9.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 June 16 (8.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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 29 (coefficient 85, 9.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 5.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Squamscott River RR. Bridge station (NOAA), 4.2 mi from Greenland. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Portland reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Greenland
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (slight).
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 55.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Greenland today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.0 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 4:03 pm)
- Light: First light 6:45 am · sunrise 7:14 am · sunset 5:39 pm · last light 6:09 pm
- Tide: high 3:55 am (7.2 ft), low 10:12 am (0.1 ft), high 4:03 pm (8.3 ft) and low 10:54 pm (-0.7 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 56.7 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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 Greenland today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:12 am): little current from 9:30 am to 10:40 am

- 0.2 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 3:55 am (3:20–4:40 am), low tide 10:12 am (9:30–10:40 am), high tide 4:03 pm (3:30–4:50 pm) and low tide 10:54 pm (10:10–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 56.7 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: good, calm sea and light wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:09 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:08 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at high 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.

The moon in Greenland
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:21–4:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:38–8:38 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.
