Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:39 am 0.4 ft · coef. 90

- ▲ High tide 5:16 pm 2.5 ft · coef. 83
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 34 min to low tide at 12:34 am.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 5:39 am high tide and 83 for the 5:16 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.6 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 December 24 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-2.8 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 26 to 27 (coefficient 109, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Taro has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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 Taro
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.8 ft with a period of 10 s, from the north (slight).
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 Taro today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.3 ft swell at 6 s from the south, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:27 am)
- Light: First light 5:47 am · sunrise 6:08 am · sunset 6:28 pm · last light 6:49 pm
- Tide: high 5:39 am (0.4 ft), low 10:27 am (-1.1 ft) and high 5:16 pm (2.5 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–86.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
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 Taro today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:27 am): little current from 10:00 am to 10:50 am

- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.30 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.7–86.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:49 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 9:36 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

The moon in Taro
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:03–9:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:06–10:06 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 190 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.7 mi.
From the shoreline (1,150 ft from Taro) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep90 ft
- 33 ft deep190 ft
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 38 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 190 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
