18 ft waves every 13 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 0 · SPF 15
Max UV 0 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

Tides in Navy Town
Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 11:56 am 3.4 ft · coef. 115
- ▼ Low tide 2:00 pm 3.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:46 pm 3.9 ft · coef. 115
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 h 46 min to high tide at 11:56 am.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 11:56 am high tide and 115 for the 6:46 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.2 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 January 1 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-1.8 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 28 to 29 (coefficient 115, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 20, 1.9 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common6.6 ft
- Significant13 ft
- Highest expectedHighest26 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 26 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 26 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 south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 18 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (very rough).

Surf in Navy Town today
Surf today
Fair- 9.8–15 ft surf at the shore, big

- 16 ft swell at 12 s from the south-southwest, average
- Fresh offshore wind (21 mph)
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:56 am)
Very big surf: dangerous. Only for experts who know the spot; beach breaks tend to close out.

- Tide: low 2:46 am (-1.3 ft), high 11:56 am (3.4 ft), low 2:00 pm (3.4 ft) and high 6:46 pm (3.9 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, though with very big surf.
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 Navy Town today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (11:56 am): little current from 11:10 am to 12:58 pm
- 16 ft swell at 12 s from the south-southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Fresh offshore wind (21 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.3 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
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 2:46 am (2:31–3:01 am), high tide 11:56 am (11:10 am–12:58 pm), low tide 2:00 pm (12:58–3:10 pm) and high tide 6:46 pm (6:10–7:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 16 ft at 12 s), rain (0.44 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.9 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:37 pm. Waning gibbous (82%), rising at 10:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with a big swell and fresh 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,903 mi away and looks 32′ 43″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 5:26–7:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 5:58–7:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 3:14–4:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:45–10:45 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,000 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 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).
