Tide coefficient 72 for the 12:28 pm high tide and 68 for the 11:55 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.0 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 April 16 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-0.8 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Vicksville 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Vicksville

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.5 ft · 5.5 s from the east-southeast (102°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 5.9 s from the southeast
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph N · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:50 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:20 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

  • 2:06–4:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:36–10:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:40–9:40 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 500 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline (850 ft from Vicksville) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep260 ft
  • 33 ft deep500 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.45 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 19 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 500 ft and 66 ft at 1,000 ft from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
