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)

Where this tide comes from
Cannonvale has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Shute Harbour (TICON-4), 5.6 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:40 am to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:30 am to 7:20 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:20 pm to 6:10 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,469 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:04–3:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:04–8:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:10–10:10 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.
