- Water at 42 °F (very cold)
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Use care · 4.3 ft
4.3 ft waves every 9 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 1 · SPF 15
Max UV 1 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 48 min to low tide at 3:32 am.
Tide coefficient 97 for the 10:03 am high tide and 90 for the 10:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.0 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 December 26 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (0.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above lower low water, large tide (LLWLT), the zero of Canadian 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. LLWLT
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 108, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 20, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Cobb's Arm has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Joe Batts Arm (TICON-4), 20 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 Cobb's Arm
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 4.9 ft with a period of 7 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 cools over the next few days: about 41.2 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Diving in Cobb's Arm today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (4:23 pm): little current from 4:00 pm to 4:50 pm
- 3.0 ft swell at 9 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:32 am (3:10–3:50 am), high tide 10:03 am (9:40–10:20 am), low tide 4:23 pm (4:00–4:50 pm) and high tide 10:32 pm (10:00–11:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.0 ft at 10 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 42.4 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:24 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 7:54 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 10:40 am, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and 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 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:43–4:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:16–5:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:08–1:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:24–8:24 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.5 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.5 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.5 mi out.
