Tide coefficient 114 for the 1:34 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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?

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Allen has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Allen

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.8 ft · 5.7 s from the northeast (34°)

Current 0.7 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore (2.4 mi W)Offshore 13 mph NE · gusts 19

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:20 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:40 am to 6:30 am, with little swell and light wind, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:46–2:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:18–3:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:59–8:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:37–8:37 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.
