- ▲ High tide 6:32 pm 3.3 ft · coef. 93
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 25 min to low tide at 12:59 pm.
Tide coefficient 97 for the 6:11 am high tide and 93 for the 6:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.3 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 April 19 (6.2 ft) and the lowest, on November 26 (0.2 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 103, 5.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 22, 1.8 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southeast (slight).

Diving in English River today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (12:59 pm): little current from 12:40 pm to 1:20 pm
- 2.2 ft swell at 7 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 6:11 am (5:56–6:30 am), low tide 12:59 pm (12:40–1:20 pm), high tide 6:32 pm (6:10–7:00 pm) and low tide 12:10 am (11:40 pm–12:30 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.3 ft at 10 s) and rain (0.44 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9–86.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 9:33 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:10 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:50 am to 6:40 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:09–9:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:03–10:03 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.
