Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Next low tide 10:41 am 0.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 14 min to low tide at 10:41 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 2:44 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 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 12 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on March 22 (-0.5 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 99, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 24, 0.6 ft).

The sea at Nishida
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 4.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northwest (moderate).
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 72.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.9 °F).

Surf in Nishida today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.2 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- 0.9 ft wind swell at 2 s: messy waves
- Light onshore wind (8 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:41 am)
- Light: First light 6:00 am · sunrise 6:26 am · sunset 5:14 pm · last light 5:41 pm
- Tide: high 2:44 am (1.4 ft) and low 10:41 am (0.3 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 73.4 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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 Nishida today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (10:41 am): little current from 10:26 am to 11:00 am
- 1.7 ft swell at 6 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:44 am (2:29–3:00 am) and low tide 10:41 am (10:26–11:00 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.7 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:41 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:23 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

The moon in Nishida
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:08–3:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:40–3:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:26–10:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:53–7:53 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.
