Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Eastriggs 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Eastriggs

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 4.0 s from the southwest (219°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 3.8 s from the southwest
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph S · gusts 7
Offshore (21 mi SW)Offshore 11 mph SSW · gusts 15

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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.

Cross-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: 1.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now51.3 °F
Today 51.3–51.4 °F air: 51 / 57 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 54.0 °F measured 1.2 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.

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 50.0 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:35–6:35 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.
