The water rises and falls 6.5 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 25 (4.1 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (-3.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from
Rushoon has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Rushoon
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (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 45.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.2 °F).

- 1.0 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southwest: barely any surge
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:24 am (4:00–4:50 am), high tide 11:18 am (11:00–11:40 am), low tide 5:16 pm (4:50–5:50 pm) and high tide 11:43 pm (11:20 pm–12:10 am)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 47.5 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:45–4:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:17–5:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:55 am–12:55 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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 0.7 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 0.7 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) 0.7 mi out.
