Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 12:07 pm 0.6 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 49 min to low tide at 1:04 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 7:35 am high tide and 80 for the 6:43 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.7 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 October 28 (1.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-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 27 (coefficient 95, 1.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 34, 0.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Vieux Fort Bay station (NOAA), 1.0 mi from La Resource. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Key West reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at La Resource
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south 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: 3.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (slight).

Surf in La Resource today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.9 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 6:43 pm)
- Light: First light 5:36 am · sunrise 5:58 am · sunset 5:37 pm · last light 5:59 pm
- Tide: low 1:04 am (0.0 ft), high 7:35 am (1.0 ft), low 12:07 pm (0.6 ft) and high 6:43 pm (1.7 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 84.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 35 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:59 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind. 6:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore 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 La Resource today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (12:07 pm): little current from 11:10 am to 12:40 pm

- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.7 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:59 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 8:59 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:50 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind, though with tidal current 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.

The moon in La Resource
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:40–3:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:12–4:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:56–9:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:29–9:29 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
