The water rises and falls 6.1 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 24 (3.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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

Where this tide comes from
St. Pauls has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.8 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 St. Pauls
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (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 43.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

- 3.2 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 2:21 pm)
- Light: First light 7:32 am · sunrise 8:06 am · sunset 6:03 pm · last light 6:37 pm
- Tide: high 1:13 am (1.4 ft), low 7:24 am (-3.1 ft), high 2:21 pm (3.1 ft) and low 8:33 pm (-1.3 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 45.3 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 55 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 4:00 pm to 6:37 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, 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- 2:57–4:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:29–5:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:23–1:23 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:36–8:36 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 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
