  • ▲ High tide 11:21 pm 6.6 ft · coef. 85

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 49 min to low tide at 5:08 pm.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 12:00 pm high tide and 85 for the 11:21 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.1 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 August 13 (7.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.5 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 106, 6.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 2.1 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Marizon

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.6 ft · 6.8 s from the north (9°)
Swell 1.5 ft · 5.5 s from the north-northeast

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph ESE · gusts 12
Offshore (12 mi NNW)Offshore 11 mph SSE · gusts 18

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 11:10 am to 12:50 pm, with 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
  • 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:30–10:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:15–8:15 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.
