Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 am to 6:40 am, combines the 5:50 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with the 3:58 pm high tide, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 9:30 am to 10:10 am, with the 10:29 am low tide, moonset and some swell, though with rising pressure.

  • ▼ Low tide 11:28 pm 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 40 min to low tide at 10:29 am.

Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:50 am high tide and 91 for the 3:58 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.0 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 August 14 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.6 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 28 (coefficient 104, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 2.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Noda has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kuji (TICON-4), 6.0 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 Noda

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.7 ft · 7.3 s from the north-northeast (13°)
Swell 2.2 ft · 4.7 s from the north
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph W · gusts 17
Offshore (12 mi SE)Offshore 4 mph W · gusts 9

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

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.6 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 6:00 am to 6:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current.

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
  • 1:05–3:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:05–10:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:02–7:02 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 900 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Noda) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 900 ft): 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).
