Tide coefficient 87 for the 11:02 am high tide and 80 for the 11:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 September 11 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (-0.3 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Posillipo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.5 ft · 4.5 s from the west-southwest (251°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 4.6 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NNE · gusts 11
Offshore (5.1 mi SSE)Offshore 9 mph NE · gusts 14

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:02 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

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, 10:10 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:26–3:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:04–11:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:52–7:52 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 1,050 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Posillipo) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,050 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 1,050 ft and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
