Tides in Dalvey
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 5:05 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:04 pm 1.1 ft · coef. 117
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 0 min to low tide at 5:05 am.
Tide coefficient 117 for the 2:04 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 October 27 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come on October 29 (coefficient 117, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 21, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Dalvey has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Morant (NOAA), 5.9 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Galveston reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Dalvey
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-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 Dalvey today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.0 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide
- Light: First light 5:41 am · sunrise 6:03 am · sunset 5:34 pm · last light 5:57 pm
- Tide: low 5:05 am (-0.1 ft) and high 2:04 pm (1.1 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 84.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 16 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:57 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 am to 9:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with 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.

- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 5:05 am (4:40–5:30 am) and high tide 2:04 pm (1:20–3:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:57 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 8:53 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 5:40 am to 6:50 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:10–10:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:23–9:23 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.8 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.

- 66 ft deep0.9 mi
- 164 ft deep1.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.8 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
