Tides in Saint Andrews
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:41 am 21.1 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Low tide 8:04 am -0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:00 pm 22.5 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Next low tide 8:35 pm -1.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 41 min to low tide at 8:35 pm.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 1:41 am high tide and 84 for the 2:00 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 24.2 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 April 19 (23.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-2.4 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 85, 24.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 50, 14.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Saint Andrews has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Pettegrove Point (NOAA), 5.9 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.

The sea at Saint Andrews
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water about normal for late October.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 8:40 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
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 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:02–4:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:33–4:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:52–11:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:11–8:11 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.

Water depth
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.7 mi out for 33 ft of water.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1.5 mi
- 33 ft deep1.7 mi
- 66 ft deep2.9 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
