Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Dangerous · 13 ft
13 ft waves every 12 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 5 · SPF 30
Max UV 5 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 41 min to low tide at 7:59 pm.
Tide coefficient 104 for the 3:03 am high tide and 102 for the 1:54 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.7 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 November 27 (2.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 22 (-1.8 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 12 to 14 (coefficient 113, 3.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 6 (coefficient 20, 0.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Currie has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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.
The sea at Currie
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.7 ft
- Significant11 ft
- Highest expectedHighest23 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 23 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 23 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 13 ft with a period of 12 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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).

Surf in Currie today
Surf today
Poor- 7.6–12 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (12 ft): for experienced surfers
- 11 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average
- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:59 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 5:49 am · sunrise 6:18 am · sunset 7:59 pm · last light 8:28 pm
- Tide: high 3:03 am (1.9 ft), low 9:50 am (-0.3 ft), high 1:54 pm (0.2 ft) and low 7:59 pm (-1.7 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 58.8 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 2,510 kJ · Very high power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind. 6:00 am to 7:00 am can also work, though with big surf and onshore 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.
Diving in Currie today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (1:54 pm): little current from 1:20 pm to 2:20 pm
- 12 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 3:03 am (2:48–3:20 am), low tide 9:50 am (9:20–10:20 am), high tide 1:54 pm (1:20–2:20 pm) and low tide 7:59 pm (7:40–8:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 13 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.8 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:28 pm. Waning gibbous (89%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big 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.
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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:24–4:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:56–4:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:23–8:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:33 pm–12:33 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 0.4 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 0.65 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).
