Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 10:05 am 14.9 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 4:04 pm 7.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:12 pm 13.7 ft · coef. 80
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 15 min to low tide at 3:21 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 10:05 am high tide and 80 for the 8:12 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 17.6 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 5 (16.4 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-4.0 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 90, 17.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 12.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Shelton station (NOAA), 3.2 mi from Hammersley Inlet. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Seattle reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Hammersley Inlet
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Hammersley Inlet: 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.
Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Steady now (−0.03 inHg in 3 hours). It barely changes over the next 48 hours. Steady pressure: anglers expect normal activity. Fast changes, either way, tend to affect fishing.

The moon in Hammersley Inlet
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,837 mi away and looks 32′ 43″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:59–4:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:32–5:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:09–1:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:55–8:55 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 650 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 650 ft. 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 650 ft out.
