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)

The sea at Orient Point
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 3.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.6 °F more 2 days ago 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 warms over the next few days: about 66.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).

Surf in Orient Point today
Surf today
Fair- 2.0–3.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.7 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:22 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 5:59 am · sunset 7:24 pm · last light 7:50 pm
- Tide: low 4:50 am (1.1 ft), high 11:22 am (5.3 ft) and low 6:12 pm (0.5 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 64.4 °F–65.5 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 72 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm 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 Orient Point today

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.7 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.4–65.5 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:50 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:10 pm to 7:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 12:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.
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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:13–8:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:45–11:45 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 deep1.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.7 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 0.85 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).
