Tide coefficient 90 for the 4:55 am high tide and 83 for the 4:21 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.8 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 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on January 31 (-1.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
The Pines has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 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.
The sea at The Pines
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 5.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 65.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.3 °F).

Surf in The Pines today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.4 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:14 pm)
- Light: First light 5:56 am · sunrise 6:23 am · sunset 7:48 pm · last light 8:15 pm
- Tide: high 4:55 am (2.4 ft), low 12:52 pm (-1.0 ft), high 4:21 pm (-0.7 ft) and low 9:14 pm (-1.4 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 63.7 °F–64.8 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 104 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 6:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves. 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm can also work, though with small waves.
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 The Pines today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (12:52 pm): little current from 12:20 pm to 1:50 pm
- 2.3 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph)
- 0.0 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:55 am (4:40–5:10 am), low tide 12:52 pm (12:20–1:50 pm), high tide 4:21 pm (3:10–5:10 pm) and low tide 9:14 pm (8:50–9:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.7 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 63.7–64.8 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 8:15 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:42 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:10 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:40 pm to 7:50 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal current and some swell.
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 226,463 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:40–8:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:12 pm–12:12 am 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 1.7 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 2.9 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).
