Tides in Thio
Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Next low tide 1:59 pm 2.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:45 pm 4.3 ft · coef. 80
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 13 min to low tide at 1:59 pm.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 8:35 am high tide and 80 for the 7:45 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.8 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 February 3 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.0 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 9 to 10 (coefficient 90, 3.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 38, 2.3 ft).

The sea at Thio
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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: 2.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (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 Wednesday 4.

Surf in Thio today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.1 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.7 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 7:45 pm)
- Light: First light 4:51 am · sunrise 5:14 am · sunset 6:04 pm · last light 6:27 pm
- Tide: low 1:46 am (0.5 ft), high 8:35 am (4.3 ft), low 1:59 pm (2.3 ft) and high 7:45 pm (4.3 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 75.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 4 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has glassy water, though with small waves and 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, 12:40 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 9:40 am, with slack water at high 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.

The moon in Thio
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:23–3:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:47–7:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:00–10:00 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 9.8 ft.
From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Thio) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.6 mi
- 33 ft deep0.75 mi
- 66 ft deep1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 9.8 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 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). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
