Tides in Astoria
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:35 am 7.7 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Low tide 8:54 am 2.7 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 2:42 pm 9.9 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 9:53 pm -1.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 50 min to high tide at 2:42 pm.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 3:35 am high tide and 84 for the 2:42 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 December 24 (10.7 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-1.9 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 90, 9.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 5.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Astoria station (Youngs Bay, NOAA), 1.2 mi from Astoria. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Astoria (Tongue Point) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Astoria
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 28: 5.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.4 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).

Diving in Astoria today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (8:54 am): little current from 8:20 am to 9:20 am
- 4.0 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 3:35 am (3:10–4:00 am), low tide 8:54 am (8:20–9:20 am), high tide 2:42 pm (2:20–3:00 pm) and low tide 9:53 pm (9:30–10:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.2 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.30 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 52.3 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:38 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:10 pm to 3:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.
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 Astoria
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:57–11:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:01–8:01 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
