Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:17 am 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:51 am 1.4 ft · coef. 107
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 7 h 46 min to low tide at 4:06 am.
Tide coefficient 107 for the 11:51 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.0 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 7 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (0.0 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 107, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 27, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Mountain View Gardens has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Royal (TICON-4), 6.5 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Mountain View Gardens
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Mountain View Gardens today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.0 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:51 am)
- Light: First light 5:42 am · sunrise 6:05 am · sunset 5:37 pm · last light 5:59 pm
- Tide: low 3:17 am (0.3 ft) and high 11:51 am (1.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 85.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 30 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 5:59 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period 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, 11:10 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:42–2:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:14–3:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:06–9:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore.
From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Mountain View Gardens) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep700 ft
- 33 ft deep0.3 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.6 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi 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. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
