Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 am to 5:30 am, combines the 4:34 am low tide, a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 11:00 pm to 12:00 am, with the 12:05 am high tide, moonrise and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 11:04 am 5.9 ft · coef. 87

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 27 min to low tide at 5:56 pm.

Tide coefficient 87 for the 11:04 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.3 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 June 16 (6.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (0.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 93, 5.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 39, 2.9 ft).

The best window, 4:00 pm to 7:58 pm, has a good size, a clean swell and light offshore wind. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm also works, with a good size, a clean swell and light offshore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 6:30 pm to 7:10 pm, combines light wind and weak current, though with waves.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:09–8:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 10:56–11:56 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Eden) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
