Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 10:23 pm 2.6 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 33 min to high tide at 10:23 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:05 am high tide and 86 for the 10:23 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.6 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 October 28 (3.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.7 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 89, 3.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the North Bimini station (NOAA), 0.4 mi from Alice Town. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Settlement Point reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Alice Town
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north (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 84.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Alice Town today
Surf today
Fair- 2.5–3.9 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.4 ft swell at 7 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (12 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:05 am)
- Light: First light 7:00 am · sunrise 7:23 am · sunset 6:38 pm · last light 7:02 pm
- Tide: low 3:52 am (-0.2 ft), high 10:05 am (3.4 ft), low 4:47 pm (0.1 ft) and high 10:23 pm (2.6 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 82.8 °F–83.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 168 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period 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 Alice Town today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (10:05 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:30 am
- 4.1 ft swell at 7 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:52 am (3:20–4:10 am), high tide 10:05 am (9:40–10:30 am), low tide 4:47 pm (4:20–5:10 pm) and high tide 10:23 pm (10:00–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.0 ft at 7 s), rain (3.60 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.8–83.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:02 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:41 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:36–10:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:11–9:11 pm 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.
