Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:13 am 1.3 ft · coef. 108
  • ▼ Low tide 12:06 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 11 h 33 min to high tide at 3:08 am.

Tide coefficient 108 for the 3:13 am 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 February 17 (-0.2 ft).

Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

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 30 to 31 (coefficient 115, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 24 (coefficient 20, 0.2 ft).

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 1:00 pm to 4:56 pm, has a good size and 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, 11:10 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with 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
  • 12:33–2:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:30–10:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:38–6:38 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
