  • ▼ Low tide 9:13 pm 0.7 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 0 min to low tide at 8:53 am.

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).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Sisters Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Burnie (TICON-4), 21 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 and waves

The sea at Sisters Beach

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.2 ft · 3.5 s from the west (267°)

Current 0.3 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph WSW · gusts 29
Offshore (12 mi NNW)Offshore 19 mph WSW · gusts 26

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:50 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:20 pm to 3:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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
  • 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:12–8:12 am Minor · moonset · 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 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Sisters Beach) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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 0.75 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).
