↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 49 min to high tide at 12:15 pm.

Tide coefficient 93 for the 12:15 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.3 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?

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Sea and waves

The sea at Wichit

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.4 ft · 6.1 s from the west-southwest (257°)
Swell 1.3 ft · 5.2 s from the west
Current 0.3 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 17 mph SE · gusts 24

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

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 (+2.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with barely any waves and onshore 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 6:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.

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: medium
  • 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:37–9:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:36–9:36 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Wichit) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
