Tides in Pilot Point
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:34 am 10.1 ft · coef. 73
- ▼ Low tide 9:24 am -1.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:12 pm 14.9 ft · coef. 75
- ▼ Next low tide 11:13 pm 4.8 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 25 min to low tide at 11:13 pm.
Tide coefficient 73 for the 2:34 am high tide and 75 for the 4:12 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 16.0 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 June 17 (16.5 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-3.4 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 came from October 5 to 10 (coefficient 81, 14.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 21 (coefficient 53, 11.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Dago Creek Mouth station (NOAA), 3.6 mi from Pilot Point. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Pilot Point
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 5.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at low tide 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.

The moon in Pilot Point
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:20–5:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:52–5:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:48–2:48 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:51–7:51 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.
