2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 19 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Mahaday has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.1 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 Mahaday
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Thursday 29: 2.8 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southeast (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.1 °F).

Surf in Mahaday today
Surf today
Fair- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (4 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:05 pm)
- Light: First light 5:18 am · sunrise 5:39 am · sunset 5:42 pm · last light 6:03 pm
- Tide: high 5:25 am (4.6 ft), low 12:05 pm (-3.7 ft), high 5:59 pm (1.7 ft) and low 11:34 pm (-2.8 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 84.4 °F–85.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 67 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:18 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with 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 Mahaday today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 2.6 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (4 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:25 am (5:10–5:40 am), low tide 12:05 pm (11:40 am–12:30 pm), high tide 5:59 pm (5:30–6:30 pm) and low tide 11:34 pm (11:10 pm–12:00 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.39 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.4–85.6 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:03 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:10 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 11:30 am, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also good from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, 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 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:14–3:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:46–3:46 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:04–9:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:28–9:28 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

- 164 ft deep2.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 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 290 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 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.
