Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 6:30 pm 1.0 ft · coef. 84

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 30 min to low tide at 11:22 pm.

Tide coefficient 90 for the 6:13 am high tide and 84 for the 6:30 pm high tide. Spring tides. 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 November 25 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on August 29 (0.1 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 24 to 26 (coefficient 106, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 0.7 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Bačvice Beach

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.7 ft · 3.5 s from the west-northwest (283°)

The waves you may find

  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

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

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:50 am to 7:00 am, with slack water at high 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:13–2:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:44–2:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:52–9:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:32–6:32 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,150 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.4 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,150 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
