Tides in Sámal
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 7:01 am -0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 11:14 pm 4.0 ft · coef. 111
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 15 h 50 min to high tide at 11:14 pm.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 11:14 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 July 15 (4.5 ft) and the lowest, on January 4 (-1.6 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 115, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 10 (coefficient 21, 1.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Sámal has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Subic Bay (TICON-4), 19 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.

The sea at Sámal
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.0 ft with a period of 2 s, from the east-northeast (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

The moon in Sámal
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:19–9:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:47–8:47 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.
