  • ▼ Low tide 5:25 pm 1.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 15 min to high tide at 11:02 pm.

Tide coefficient 99 for the 10:59 am high tide and 96 for the 11:02 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.6 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 December 26 (10.3 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.1 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 9.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 24, 3.0 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Agto

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.6 ft · 6.7 s from the northwest (324°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 5.6 s from the northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph ESE · gusts 7
Offshore (5.2 mi NE)Offshore 7 mph SE · gusts 10

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Cross-offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now30.4 °F
Today 30.0–30.4 °F air: 8 / 21 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 35.8 °F measured 0.4 mi away

The satellite measured 5.4 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 32.0 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−3.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:50 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and the sun high, 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.

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

Today's activity: high
  • 2:06–4:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (600 ft from Agto) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 3.1 mi out.
