Rip current risk today: high (statement in effect) · tomorrow: moderate (NWS)

Stay out of the water: rip currents can pull even strong swimmers out to sea. If one catches you, don't swim against it: swim parallel to the shore and wave for help.

  • ▼ Low tide 6:20 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:51 pm 1.1 ft · coef. 84

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 24 min to low tide at 4:03 am.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 11:30 am high tide and 84 for the 10:51 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 November 26 (2.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.5 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Sabana

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 3.6 ft · 10.2 s from the north-northeast (12°)
Swell 3.4 ft · 8.9 s from the north
Current 0.5 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.8 ft
  • Significant3.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SE · gusts 10

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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 10 s, from the north (slight).

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 4:50 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind, though with some swell 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.

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
  • 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:30–10:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:40–9:40 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Sabana) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 mi): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
