Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:10 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 12:46 pm 1.2 ft · coef. 114

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 12 h 9 min to low tide at 5:05 am.

Tide coefficient 114 for the 12:46 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

B · Nearby station

Yallahs has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Morant (NOAA), 15 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Yallahs

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.2 ft · 6.8 s from the east-southeast (113°)
Swell 2.1 ft · 5.7 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SE · gusts 7

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.

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 5:58 pm 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:50 am to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, 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
  • 12:41–2:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:13–3:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:05–9:05 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Yallahs) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 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 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.

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.
