↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 1 min to low tide at 3:53 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 9:23 am high tide and 86 for the 9:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.9 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 (3.7 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, 3.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 1.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Arthur’s Town has no station of its own, so we use the tide at The Bight (NOAA), 26 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Settlement Point reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Arthur’s Town
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).

Surf in Arthur’s Town today
Surf today
Poor- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.9 ft swell at 9 s from the north-northeast, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:23 am)
- Light: First light 6:44 am · sunrise 7:07 am · sunset 6:25 pm · last light 6:49 pm
- Tide: low 3:03 am (-0.2 ft), high 9:23 am (3.7 ft), low 3:58 pm (0.1 ft) and high 9:41 pm (2.8 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 84.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 222 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size. 5:00 pm to 6:49 pm also works.
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 Arthur’s Town today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (3:58 pm): little current from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.5 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:49 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:29 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:50 pm to 4:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:40 am to 10:20 am, with slack water at high 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.

The moon in Arthur’s Town
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:18–10:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:59–8:59 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 500 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 700 ft.
From the shoreline (950 ft from Arthur’s Town) out to sea, heading southeast.

- 33 ft deep500 ft
- 66 ft deep550 ft
- 164 ft deep700 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 500 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 500 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
