Where this tide comes from
Portland has no station of its own, so we use the tide at West Bay Harbour (TICON-4), 17 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Portland
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 6.2 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 59.1 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf today

- 3.9 ft swell at 9 s from the west-southwest, a bit short

- Rising tide (high tide at 7:56 pm)

- Tide: low 12:45 am (1.3 ft), high 7:32 am (14.2 ft), low 1:03 pm (1.5 ft) and high 7:56 pm (13.8 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 59.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 237 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has a good size, though with wind swell and onshore wind. 6:20 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell 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.
Diving in Portland today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 3.9 ft swell at 9 s from the west-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (15 mph)
- 0.7 mph current toward the southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 12:45 am (12:30–1:00 am), high tide 7:32 am (7:17–7:50 am), low tide 1:03 pm (12:48–1:18 pm) and high tide 7:56 pm (7:40–8:11 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.6 ft at 9 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.9 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:26 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 5:42 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell, moderate wind 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.
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 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:49–10:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:12–6:12 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 310 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Portland) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep180 ft
- 33 ft deep310 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 35 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. 33 ft deep 310 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.3 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
