The best window, 2:20 am to 3:40 am, combines the 2:36 am high tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 2:50 pm to 3:30 pm, with the 2:33 pm high tide and a major period, though with rising pressure and moderate wind. Also worth a try from 7:50 am to 9:50 am, with the 8:53 am low tide and moonset, though with rising pressure.

  • ▼ Low tide 9:13 pm 0.7 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 44 min to high tide at 2:33 pm.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 2:36 am high tide and 85 for the 2:33 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.3 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 May 20 (11.6 ft) and the lowest, on November 28 (0.2 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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 come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 90, 11.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 22 to 24 (coefficient 55, 6.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Ocean Vista

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.4 ft · 3.3 s from the west (281°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 3.8 s from the northwest
Current 0.3 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph WSW · gusts 24
Offshore (7.8 mi ENE)Offshore 15 mph WSW · gusts 20

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:40 am to 9:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 2:00 pm to 3:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:16–4:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:48–4:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:10–8:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:29 pm–12:29 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.65 mi.

From the shoreline (600 ft from Ocean Vista) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 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).
