Tides in Tokeland
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:19 am 8.1 ft · coef. 90
- ▼ Low tide 8:36 am 2.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:37 pm 10.4 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Next low tide 9:31 pm -1.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 36 min to low tide at 9:31 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 3:19 am high tide and 88 for the 2:37 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 12.0 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 (11.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-3.0 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 92, 12.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 37, 5.9 ft).

The sea at Tokeland
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.4 ft
- Significant6.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 7.6 ft with a period of 16 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 52.6 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Tokeland today
Surf today
Good- 4.4–6.7 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 6.5 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:31 pm)
- Light: First light 7:21 am · sunrise 7:52 am · sunset 6:06 pm · last light 6:38 pm
- Tide: high 3:19 am (8.1 ft), low 8:36 am (2.9 ft), high 2:37 pm (10.4 ft) and low 9:31 pm (-1.6 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 53.6 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 434 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 7:21 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Tokeland today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (8:36 am): little current from 8:10 am to 9:00 am
- 6.0 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 3:19 am (2:50–3:50 am), low tide 8:36 am (8:10–9:00 am), high tide 2:37 pm (2:10–3:00 pm) and low tide 9:31 pm (9:10–9:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 6.4 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 53.6 °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 7:29 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 9:40 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 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 Tokeland
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
- 11:00 am–12:00 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:59–7:59 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 1.3 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
