The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, brings sunshine, a calm sea and water at 72 °F, though with cool air and light offshore wind. 9:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, little wind, a calm sea and water at 72 °F, though with cool air.

Tides

Tides in Larderia

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:06 am 0.7 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:35 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:45 pm 0.2 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 19 min to low tide at 9:37 am.

In Larderia the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 October 26 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on March 3 (-0.4 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Larderia

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.3 ft · 3.6 s from the north (3°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 3.1 s from the north
Current 0.1 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NW · gusts 14

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

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
  • 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:58–7:58 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 450 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 850 ft.

From the shoreline (2.2 mi from Larderia) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep380 ft
  • 33 ft deep450 ft
  • 66 ft deep550 ft
  • 164 ft deep850 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 450 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 450 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
