Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 9:10 am 1.1 ft

- ▼ Low tide 9:43 pm 0.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 52 min to high tide at 4:00 am.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 4:00 am high tide and 84 for the 4:07 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.8 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 September 11 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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 came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 3.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 26, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Azla has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ceuta (TICON-4), 24 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.7 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 66.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

- Light: First light 6:14 am · sunrise 6:40 am · sunset 5:29 pm · last light 5:55 pm
- Tide: high 4:00 am (3.5 ft), low 9:10 am (1.1 ft), high 4:07 pm (3.6 ft) and low 9:43 pm (0.8 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 68.0 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:14 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:20 pm to 5:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:05–11:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:34–8:34 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.5 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.8 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
