Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 7:25 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 8:27 pm -1.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 48 min to high tide at 12:58 pm.

Tide coefficient 48 for the 4:02 am high tide and 57 for the 12:58 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.7 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 December 3 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on August 9 (-1.4 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 4 to 6 (coefficient 120, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 12 (coefficient 20, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Karangampel has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Karangampel

7-day waves

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 3.1 s from the east-southeast (111°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 2.8 s from the east
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph ENE · gusts 26
Offshore (15 mi NNE)Offshore 11 mph ENE · gusts 17

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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.

Satellite (2 days ago) 84.9 °F measured 2.0 mi away

The satellite measured 3.2 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder 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 88.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:23–8:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:26–9:26 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 15 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Karangampel) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep2.2 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.2 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
