Tide coefficient 82 for the 11:38 am high tide and 73 for the 11:43 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.2 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 24 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Golden Beach has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.7 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 Golden Beach
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Golden Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.4 ft swell at 5 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 1.6 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:38 am)
- Light: First light 5:35 am · sunrise 6:01 am · sunset 4:50 pm · last light 5:16 pm
- Tide: low 5:40 am (-0.6 ft), high 11:38 am (0.3 ft), low 5:17 pm (-0.4 ft) and high 11:43 pm (0.6 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 76.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 4 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, 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.
Diving in Golden Beach today

- Night dive: dark from 5:16 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:18 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:30 am to 6:40 am, 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.

The moon in Golden Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:18–10:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:48–7:48 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep0.8 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
