  • ▲ High tide 11:13 pm 10.7 ft · coef. 73

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 7 min to high tide at 10:59 am.

Tide coefficient 79 for the 10:59 am high tide and 73 for the 11:13 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 12.3 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 December 25 (16.3 ft) and the lowest, on September 11 (1.0 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 8 to 10 (coefficient 99, 13.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 26, 5.2 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Mulambin

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.2 ft · 2.8 s from the east-southeast (117°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 2.9 s from the east-southeast
Current 1.2 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SSE · gusts 16
Offshore (14 mi ESE)Offshore 16 mph SE · gusts 22

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

Water now78.4 °F
Today 78.3–78.8 °F air: 69 / 77 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 75.7 °F measured 0.7 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).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:55–2:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:27–3:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:47–7:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:09–10:09 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 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.65 mi from Mulambin) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,100 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 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.
