Is it a beach day?

Poor beach day · 4 out of 10 1:00–3:00 pm
  • Mostly sunny
  • Calm for swimming: 3.3 ft waves
  • UV 3 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen
  • Water at 70 °F (nice)
  • Feels like 66 °F: a bit cool
  • Light offshore wind (10 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Calm · 3.3 ft

    3.3 ft waves: calm for swimming. Low rip current risk. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 70 °F

    Nice for swimming.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 4 · SPF 30

    Max UV 4 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

  • Wind 12 mph

    Moderate offshore wind (12 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand

    Red Beach has almost no tide: the beach stays the same all day.

The best window, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, brings sunshine, a calm sea and water at 70 °F, though with cool air and light offshore wind.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

  • Waning gibbous: a bit more activity than at the quarters

Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:40 am to 3:40 am, combines a major period and some swell. Also good from 6:10 am to 7:10 am, with sunrise and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:10 pm to 4:10 pm, with a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Tides

Tides in Red Beach

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:05 am 0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:08 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:54 pm -0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 52 min to low tide at 8:40 am.

In Red Beach the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 December 25 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 12 (-0.2 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.1 mi from Red Beach. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Red Beach

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.4 ft · 4.7 s from the west (274°)
Swell 2.1 ft · 4.5 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.2 ft
  • Significant2.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:12 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:52 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:40 am to 9:30 am, with light wind and weak current.

In Red Beach the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:59–10:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:23–8:23 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.65 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.65 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
