The best window, 9:30 pm to 10:10 pm, combines the 10:28 pm high tide, moonrise, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 3:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with the 4:47 pm low tide, sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 10:30 am to 11:10 am, with the 10:14 am high tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: leopard coral grouper, striped mullet, narrow-barred Spanish mackerel and orange-spotted grouper. October is one of the months when these are seen most: leopard coral grouper and orange-spotted grouper. What you can catch

Tide coefficient 81 for the 10:14 am high tide and 75 for the 10:28 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.4 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 25 (5.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.6 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Agnes Water has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.1 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.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Agnes Water

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.6 ft · 4.8 s from the east (96°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 5.6 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SE · gusts 17
Offshore (6.6 mi ESE)Offshore 12 mph SE · gusts 16

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east (slight).

Water temperature

Water now77.0 °F
Today 76.8–77.5 °F air: 65 / 84 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 74.3 °F measured 0.9 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 (+2.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 6:40–7:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:07–10:07 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Agnes Water) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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 1.1 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.
