Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 11:30 pm 2.4 ft · coef. 81
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 10 min to low tide at 6:04 pm.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 11:16 am high tide and 81 for the 11:30 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.2 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 27 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 85, 3.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 1.9 ft).

Tides from the Settlement Point station (UHSLC, TICON-4), 0.4 mi from West End. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at West End
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.4 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: 7.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-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.

Surf in West End today
Surf today
Fair- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.0 ft swell at 6 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Moderate offshore wind (12 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:04 pm)
- Light: First light 6:59 am · sunrise 7:23 am · sunset 6:36 pm · last light 7:00 pm
- Tide: low 5:04 am (0.0 ft), high 11:16 am (3.3 ft), low 6:04 pm (0.3 ft) and high 11:30 pm (2.4 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–83.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 120 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, 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 West End today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (6:04 pm): little current from 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm
- 3.9 ft swell at 7 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 5:04 am (4:40–5:30 am), high tide 11:16 am (11:00–11:40 am), low tide 6:04 pm (5:40–6:30 pm) and high tide 11:30 pm (11:10–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.4 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 82.8–83.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:00 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:37 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 10:50 am to 11:40 am, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell 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.

The moon in West End
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:37–10:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:07–9:07 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
