Tides in South End
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:19 am 1.3 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 6:57 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:48 pm 1.6 ft · coef. 86
- ▼ Next low tide 7:54 pm 0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 56 min to low tide at 7:54 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 1:19 am high tide and 86 for the 1:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a small 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 27 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 89, 1.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 42, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Isla Del Maiz Grande station (NOAA), 0.6 mi from South End. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at South End
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (slight).

The best window, 5:02 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, with little swell and light wind, though with tidal current and current. Also worth a look from 5:20 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at low tide and little swell, though with moderate wind and current.
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 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:08–2:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:40–2:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:19–8:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:00–8:00 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 850 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
