The best window, 2:50 pm to 4:40 pm, combines the 3:40 pm high tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 2:50 am to 4:20 am, with the 3:49 am high tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

  • ▼ Low tide 9:35 pm 0.5 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 39 min to low tide at 9:32 am.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 3:49 am high tide and 89 for the 3:40 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 9.8 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 (10.9 ft) and the lowest, on November 28 (0.3 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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 93, 10.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 23 to 24 (coefficient 46, 4.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Grantville has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Western Port Stony Point (TICON-4), 17 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 Grantville

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.1 ft · 8.9 s from the southwest (216°)
Swell 2.5 ft · 9.3 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore (16 mi WSW)Offshore 14 mph WSW · gusts 22

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:50 am to 10:50 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:49–4:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:22–8:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:20 pm–12:20 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.
