- ▼ Next low tide 11:45 pm -0.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 54 min to low tide at 11:45 pm.
Tide coefficient 114 for the 2:38 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 (-0.8 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 119, 1.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 30, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Noord has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.6 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 Noord
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
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 warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Surf in Noord today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (0.9 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:38 pm)
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 6:11 am · sunrise 6:32 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:37 pm
- Tide: high 2:38 pm (0.8 ft) and low 11:45 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 83.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:11 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 Noord today

- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.53 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 83.8 °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, 2:00 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:14–3:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:46–3:46 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:26–9:26 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.

- 66 ft deep2.5 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.85 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 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
