  • ▲ High tide 10:58 pm 6.9 ft · coef. 85

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 33 min to high tide at 11:25 am.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 11:25 am high tide and 85 for the 10:58 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 August 14 (8.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.1 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 105, 7.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 20, 1.9 ft).

Sea and waves

Waves 1.8 ft · 7.1 s from the north-northeast (23°)

The waves you may find

  • Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SSW · gusts 10

Offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 (+3.8 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:12 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm 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, 10:30 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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
  • 1:23–3:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:33–10:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:17–8:17 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.
