Tides in Negril
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 9:08 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 5:44 pm 2.5 ft · coef. 115
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 51 min to high tide at 5:44 pm.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 5:44 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.6 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 October 27 (2.5 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-1.4 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 from October 28 to 30 (coefficient 117, 2.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the South Negril Point station (NOAA), 4.0 mi from Negril. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Galveston reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Negril
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.0 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (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 Negril today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.0 ft swell at 5 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (4 mph)
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:08 am)
- Light: First light 5:49 am · sunrise 6:11 am · sunset 5:43 pm · last light 6:05 pm
- Tide: low 9:08 am (-0.1 ft) and high 5:44 pm (2.5 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: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, 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, 8:50 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at low 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.
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 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:13–9:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:26–8:26 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 50 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 330 ft.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep20 ft
- 33 ft deep50 ft
- 66 ft deep90 ft
- 164 ft deep330 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 164 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 50 ft and 66 ft at 90 ft 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.
