Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:34 am 0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:05 am 2.9 ft · coef. 87
  • ▼ Low tide 5:31 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 39 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

A · Official station

Tides from the Puerto Padre station (NOAA), 4.3 mi from Puerto Padre. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Puerto Padre

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.0 ft · 7.8 s from the northeast (51°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.

On the coast 4 mph E · gusts 14
Offshore (22 mi NNE)Offshore 11 mph SE · gusts 18

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:13–10:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:12–9:12 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.
