- ▲ Next high tide 4:21 pm 4.0 ft · coef. 111
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 32 min to high tide at 4:21 pm.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 4:21 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 23 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.8 ft).
Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 115, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Fenimore Pass station (NOAA), 1.1 mi from Fenimore Pass. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sweeper Cove reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Fenimore Pass
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.3 ft
- Significant8.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest18 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 18 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 18 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 17 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west-southwest (very rough).

Surf in Fenimore Pass today
Surf today
Fair- 3.1–4.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.6 ft swell at 8 s from the southwest, a bit short
- Fresh cross-shore wind (21 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 4:21 pm)
- Light: First light 8:55 am · sunrise 9:31 am · sunset 7:21 pm · last light 7:56 pm
- Tide: low 1:22 am (-0.8 ft) and high 4:21 pm (4.0 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 44.1 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 181 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell and cross-shore 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 Fenimore Pass today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 7.5 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Strong cross-shore wind (29 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the east (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 1:22 am (1:00–1:40 am) and high tide 4:21 pm (3:00–5:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.9 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 44.1 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:56 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 8:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with waves, strong 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 226,431 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:35–5:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:07–6:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:11–2:11 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:00–9:00 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 40 ft from shore.

- 16 ft deep20 ft
- 33 ft deep40 ft
- 66 ft deep80 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 146 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 40 ft and 66 ft at 80 ft 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.
