2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 22 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 29 (1.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's 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. chart datum (CD)

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft

Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Wednesday 28: 1.3 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:19 am–12:19 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 3:51–4:51 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,000 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep500 ft
- 33 ft deep550 ft
- 66 ft deep650 ft
- 164 ft deep1,000 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 550 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 550 ft and 66 ft at 650 ft from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.4 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
