Tide coefficient 95 for the 2:59 am high tide and 90 for the 6:22 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 (1.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.2 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
Water temperature

- Water at 71.6 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 15 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water. 6:00 am to 7:00 am can also work, with glassy water, 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, 10:10 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:25–3:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:12–10:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:35–7:35 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

- 164 ft deep1,100 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 60 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 120 ft and 66 ft at 380 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).
