↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 13 min to high tide at 9:04 am.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 9:04 am high tide and 86 for the 8:16 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.8 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 December 25 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from
Isen has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.9 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Isen
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 9.8 ft with a period of 10 s, from the east (rough).
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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Surf in Isen today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.0 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- Light cross-shore wind (8 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:16 pm)
- Light: First light 6:09 am · sunrise 6:33 am · sunset 5:43 pm · last light 6:07 pm
- Tide: low 2:19 am (-4.0 ft), high 9:04 am (2.4 ft), low 2:28 pm (-1.0 ft) and high 8:16 pm (2.7 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 80.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 54 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, 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.
Diving in Isen today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (2:28 pm): little current from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
- 3.0 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (8 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:19 am (2:00–2:40 am), high tide 9:04 am (8:40–9:30 am), low tide 2:28 pm (2:00–3:00 pm) and high tide 8:16 pm (7:50–8:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.0 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 80.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:07 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:50 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 9:10 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with waves.
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 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:26–3:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:17–10:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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 470 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,000 ft.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 470 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 470 ft and 66 ft at 600 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.
