Tide coefficient 77 for the 1:55 am high tide and 80 for the 1:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.5 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 February 26 (4.3 ft) and the lowest, on November 28 (-5.3 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

Where this tide comes from
Tomahawk has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 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 Tomahawk
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 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 Saturday 31: 8.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (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 59.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.8 °F).

Surf in Tomahawk today
Surf today
Fair- 2.5–3.9 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.4 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 4.0 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:13 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 6:01 am · sunset 7:45 pm · last light 8:15 pm
- Tide: high 1:55 am (3.5 ft), low 8:13 am (-2.5 ft), high 1:48 pm (3.7 ft) and low 8:38 pm (-4.9 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 57.4 °F–58.3 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 123 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.
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 Tomahawk today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (8:13 am): little current from 7:50 am to 8:40 am
- 3.4 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the north-northwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 1:55 am (1:30–2:20 am), low tide 8:13 am (7:50–8:40 am), high tide 1:48 pm (1:20–2:10 pm) and low tide 8:38 pm (8:20–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.7 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.4–58.3 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:15 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:03–8:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:21 pm–12:21 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.

- 33 ft deep850 ft
- 66 ft deep1.6 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 27 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 850 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.6 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
