↓ Falling The tide is falling. 42 min to low tide at 11:29 pm.
Tide coefficient 101 for the 4:54 am high tide and 97 for the 5:42 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 March 20 (2.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 104, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 30, 1.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Esim 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 Esim
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.8 °F).

Surf in Esim today
Surf today
Fair- 1.9–2.9 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.7 ft swell at 6 s from the south, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:19 am)
- Light: First light 5:33 am · sunrise 5:54 am · sunset 5:52 pm · last light 6:13 pm
- Tide: high 4:54 am (2.2 ft), low 11:19 am (-2.5 ft), high 5:42 pm (1.7 ft) and low 11:29 pm (-1.6 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 82.6 °F–83.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 43 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 Esim today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (11:19 am): little current from 11:00 am to 11:40 am
- 2.8 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 1.2 mph current toward the east-southeast, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:54 am (4:30–5:10 am), low tide 11:19 am (11:00–11:40 am), high tide 5:42 pm (5:20–6:00 pm) and low tide 11:29 pm (11:10–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.60 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.6–83.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:13 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:30 am to 8:30 am, with light wind, though with tidal current and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:31–2:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:26–8:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.7 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
