Tides in Marsh Harbour
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:58 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:18 am 3.7 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 4:53 pm 0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:36 pm 2.8 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 8 min to high tide at 10:36 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:18 am high tide and 86 for the 10:36 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
Marsh Harbour has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Pelican Harbor (NOAA), 12 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 Marsh Harbour
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.2 ft with a period of 10 s, from the northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Diving in Marsh Harbour today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (10:18 am): little current from 10:00 am to 10:40 am
- 3.9 ft swell at 8 s from the northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:58 am (3:30–4:20 am), high tide 10:18 am (10:00–10:40 am), low tide 4:53 pm (4:30–5:20 pm) and high tide 10:36 pm (10:10–11:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.7 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.56 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:52 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 5:40 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.
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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:29–10:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:00–9:00 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.
