Tides in Tillamook
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:54 am 5.6 ft · coef. 89
- ▼ Low tide 10:19 am 1.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 2:56 pm 7.6 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 11:29 pm -0.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 min to high tide at 2:56 pm.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 3:54 am high tide and 87 for the 2:56 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.4 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 (8.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.4 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 91, 8.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 36, 4.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Tillamook station (NOAA), 0.2 mi from Tillamook. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Crescent City reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Tillamook
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.9 ft
- Significant7.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest16 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 8.3 ft with a period of 16 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Diving in Tillamook today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (2:56 pm): little current from 2:41 pm to 3:30 pm
- 7.7 ft swell at 7 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 3:54 am (3:39–4:30 am), low tide 10:19 am (9:40–10:34 am), high tide 2:56 pm (2:41–3:30 pm) and low tide 11:29 pm (10:50–11:44 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.0 ft at 7 s) and rain (1.68 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.2 °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 6:39 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:35 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big 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 Tillamook
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
- 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:53–11:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:05–8:05 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.
