Tides in Benz
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:03 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:01 pm 0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 48 min to low tide at 4:45 am.
In Benz the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 10 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 30 (-0.4 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

The sea at Benz
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 0.7 ft with a period of 2 s, from the south-southeast (smooth).

The moon in Benz
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:23–2:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:54–2:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:03–11:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:39–5:39 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.
