Where this tide comes from
Harford has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Devonport (TICON-4), 10 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.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 4.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 9:30 am, with slack water at low tide, 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- 2:13–4:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:07–8:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:27 pm–12:27 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.
