↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 25 min to high tide at 11:25 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 11:25 am high tide and 80 for the 11:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.4 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 June 16 (6.7 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (0.2 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 27 (coefficient 96, 5.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 2.7 ft).

The sea at South Golden Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Friday 30: 4.7 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (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 70.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.8 °F).

Surf in South Golden Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.3 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:25 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 5:56 am · sunset 7:03 pm · last light 7:28 pm
- Tide: low 4:30 am (0.5 ft), high 11:25 am (5.8 ft), low 5:51 pm (1.0 ft) and high 11:36 pm (3.6 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 70.5 °F–71.6 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 37 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, 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 South Golden Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (11:25 am): little current from 11:10 am to 11:40 am
- 2.3 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (5 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the west-northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.5–71.6 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:28 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 10:42 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak 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- 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:21–8:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:12–11:12 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 0.25 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
