Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:43 am 1.1 ft · coef. 107
  • ▼ Low tide 11:25 am 0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 7:18 pm 1.0 ft · coef. 112

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 31 min to low tide at 10:37 pm.

Tide coefficient 107 for the 3:43 am high tide and 112 for the 7:18 pm 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 July 15 (1.4 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.3 ft).

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

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 come from October 29 to 31 (coefficient 114, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 24 (coefficient 20, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Furubira has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Oshoro (TICON-4), 12 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Furubira

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 5.6 ft · 7.4 s from the west-southwest (251°)
Swell 5.5 ft · 6.3 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.3 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.8 ft
  • Significant5.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest11 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph S · gusts 32
Offshore (5.9 mi ESE)Offshore 13 mph S · gusts 25

Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, 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, 11:00 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 10:00 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and some swell.

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
  • 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.7 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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 0.75 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.
