- ▲ High tide 10:33 am 7.6 ft · coef. 91
- ▼ Low tide 4:14 pm 3.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:43 pm 6.7 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 43 min to high tide at 9:43 pm.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 10:33 am high tide and 86 for the 9:43 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.4 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 (7.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.0 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 102, 7.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 3.1 ft).

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 73.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, small waves, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:11–8:11 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.
