Tides in Admiralty Inlet
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:23 am -2.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:44 am 10.4 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 12:50 pm 6.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 5:40 pm 10.0 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 44 min to high tide at 5:40 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 7:44 am high tide and 86 for the 5:40 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 12.5 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 January 4 (11.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-3.8 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 91, 9.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 37, 8.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Foulweather Bluff station (NOAA), 1.8 mi from Admiralty Inlet. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Admiralty Inlet
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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: 0.9 ft with a period of 2 s, from the south (smooth).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:01 am–12:01 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:46–7:46 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 90 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep40 ft
- 33 ft deep90 ft
- 66 ft deep1.3 mi
- 164 ft deep1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 64 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. 33 ft deep 90 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
