Tides in Port Angeles East
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 6:04 am 7.2 ft · coef. 90
- ▼ Low tide 10:43 am 6.0 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 3:27 pm 6.9 ft · coef. 89
- ▼ Low tide 11:05 pm -2.4 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 29 min to high tide at 3:27 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 6:04 am high tide and 89 for the 3:27 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.5 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 (8.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-3.6 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 27 (coefficient 93, 9.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 39, 6.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Ediz Hook station (NOAA), 3.0 mi from Port Angeles East. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Port Townsend reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Port Angeles East
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.1 °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 warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 8:30 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:49–7:49 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.

- 66 ft deep1.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.7 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.
