- ▲ Next high tide 11:25 pm 2.2 ft · coef. 85
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 43 min to high tide at 11:25 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 11:05 am high tide and 85 for the 11:25 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 October 27 (2.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.6 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical 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. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 89, 2.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Jesús Menéndez has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Padre (NOAA), 6.8 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Jesús Menéndez
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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: 2.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:12–10:12 am Minor · moonset · 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.
