The best window, 3:30 am to 4:30 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 and moonrise, though with rising pressure.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:34 am 1.5 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:04 am 5.9 ft · coef. 87

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 3 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).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Wonboyn has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Eden (TICON-4), 12 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Sea and waves

The sea at Wonboyn

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 5.7 ft · 7.6 s from the south-southwest (197°)
Swell 3.4 ft · 9.4 s from the south
Current 0.5 mph toward the NNE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.9 ft
  • Significant5.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest12 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 17 mph SW · gusts 33
Offshore (18 mi S)Offshore 24 mph SW · gusts 38

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore 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.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 5:20 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:08–8:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 10:57–11:57 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 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.3 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Wonboyn) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
