- Water at 70 °F (nice)
- Low tide at 11:05 am: more sand
- Cloudy (84% cloud cover)
- Feels like 65 °F: a bit cool
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
- Swim with care: 11 ft waves every 12 s; high rip current risk
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Use care · 11 ft
11 ft waves every 12 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 70 °F
Nice for swimming.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 9 · SPF 50
Max UV 9 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 1:00–2:00 pm (very high UV).
- Wind 18 mph
Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): blowing sand. Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand 11:05 am
Low tide at 11:05 am: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 4:56 am and 5:44 pm.
We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 52 min to high tide at 5:44 pm.
Tide coefficient 68 for the 4:56 am high tide and 65 for the 5:44 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.0 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?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 11 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on August 10 (-1.5 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 6 to 8 (coefficient 102, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 14 to 15 (coefficient 31, 0.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Adamstown has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 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.
The sea at Adamstown
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.2 ft
- Significant10 ft
- Highest expectedHighest20 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 20 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 20 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 north 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 13 ft with a period of 12 s, from the southwest (rough).
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 70.9 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−3.3 °F).

Surf in Adamstown today
Surf today
Good- 2.3–3.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 11 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average; this coast faces away from it
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:05 am)
- Light: First light 5:31 am · sunrise 5:55 am · sunset 6:54 pm · last light 7:17 pm
- Tide: high 4:56 am (0.7 ft), low 11:05 am (-0.9 ft) and high 5:44 pm (1.1 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 69.8 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 2,220 kJ · Very high power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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.
Diving in Adamstown today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:05 am): little current from 10:30 am to 11:40 am
- 10 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 4:56 am (4:20–5:30 am), low tide 11:05 am (10:30–11:40 am), high tide 5:44 pm (5:10–6:20 pm) and low tide 12:15 am (11:40 pm–12:50 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 14 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 69.8 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:17 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 10:13 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, a big swell and moderate wind.
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 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:57–3:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:13–8:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:43–10:43 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 330 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 750 ft.
From the shoreline (700 ft from Adamstown) out to sea, heading north.

- 164 ft deep750 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 31 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 330 ft and 66 ft at 430 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
