↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 11 min to low tide at 4:13 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 10:55 am high tide and 77 for the 10:31 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.4 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 December 26 (5.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 100, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 33, 2.0 ft).

The sea at Magenta
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 4.1 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 77.2 °F by Thursday 5.

Surf in Magenta today
Surf today
Poor- 2.5–3.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.2 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (9 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 5:05 pm)
- Light: First light 4:48 am · sunrise 5:11 am · sunset 6:05 pm · last light 6:28 pm
- Tide: low 4:13 am (0.4 ft), high 10:55 am (4.8 ft), low 5:05 pm (1.8 ft) and high 10:31 pm (3.9 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 75.0 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 75 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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 Magenta today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:55 am): little current from 10:30 am to 11:20 am
- 2.8 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:28 pm. Waning gibbous (80%), rising at 10:34 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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 227,049 mi away and looks 32′ 41″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:47–8:47 am Minor · moonset · 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.
