Where this tide comes from
Billings has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 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 Billings
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 7.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
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.

Surf in Billings today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.7 ft swell at 8 s from the east-southeast, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:51 pm)
- Light: First light 7:19 am · sunrise 8:29 am · sunset 3:31 pm · last light 4:41 pm
- Tide: high 1:33 am (0.5 ft), low 7:53 am (-0.6 ft), high 1:51 pm (0.4 ft) and low 7:57 pm (-0.6 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 30.0 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 166 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:19 am to 11:00 am, has 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 Billings today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (1:51 pm): little current from 1:30 pm to 2:10 pm
- 3.5 ft surface waves
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.7 mph current toward the east (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:33 am (1:10–1:50 am), low tide 7:53 am (7:30–8:20 am), high tide 1:51 pm (1:30–2:10 pm) and low tide 7:57 pm (7:30–8:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.7 ft) and rain (0.22 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 30.0 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 4:41 pm. Waning gibbous (89%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:20 am, though with tidal current, moderate wind 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: high- 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
