Where this tide comes from
Whitemark has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.8 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 Whitemark
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.0 ft
- Significant5.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 8.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (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 59.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.1 °F).

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.9 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.6 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, with weak current, though with tidal current, 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.
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- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:39–4:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:05–8:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:16 pm–12:16 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.
