Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 9:50 am 1.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 28 min to high tide at 7:18 pm.

Tide coefficient 110 for the 7:18 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 October 30 (3.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (0.0 ft).

Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 111, 2.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 27, 0.8 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Sisal

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.8 ft · 4.6 s from the north-northeast (28°)
Swell 1.3 ft · 5.4 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph NNE · gusts 18
Offshore (6.0 mi NNE)Offshore 13 mph NE · gusts 18

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, 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, 9:00 am to 10:30 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.

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
  • 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:09–9:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:08–8:08 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

Shallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 0.95 mi from shore and 16 ft at 3.1 mi.

From the shoreline (500 ft from Sisal) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.95 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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.
