Tide coefficient 114 for the 2:44 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.4 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 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.9 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

Where this tide comes from
Baby Beach has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.7 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

The sea at Baby Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.
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 southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
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.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Baby Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.1 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (7 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:44 pm)
- Light: First light 6:10 am · sunrise 6:32 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:37 pm
- Tide: high 2:44 pm (0.9 ft) and low 11:38 pm (-0.6 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 83.5 °F–84.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:10 am to 10:00 am, 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 Baby Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:44 pm): little current from 2:29 pm to 2:59 pm
- 2.0 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:44 pm (2:29–2:59 pm) and low tide 11:38 pm (11:20 pm–12:00 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.53 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 83.5–84.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:37 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:35 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 7:10 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:13–3:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:25–9:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:05–9:05 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
