Tides in Saint George
Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 10:37 am 4.0 ft · coef. 109
- ▼ Next low tide 2:59 pm 3.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:22 pm 3.7 ft · coef. 111
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 4 min to low tide at 2:59 pm.
Tide coefficient 109 for the 10:37 am high tide and 111 for the 6:22 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 22 (4.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-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 29 to 30 (coefficient 114, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 20, 2.0 ft).

Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 18 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west-southwest (very rough).

Surf in Saint George today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.7 ft swell at 9 s from the west, a bit short; this coast faces away from it
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 2:59 pm)
- Light: First light 8:40 am · sunrise 9:19 am · sunset 6:44 pm · last light 7:23 pm
- Tide: low 2:10 am (-0.6 ft), high 10:37 am (4.0 ft), low 2:59 pm (3.5 ft) and high 6:22 pm (3.7 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 43.3 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 288 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has light offshore 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.

Diving in Saint George today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (2:59 pm): little current from 2:20 pm to 3:40 pm
- 4.5 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:10 am (1:55–2:25 am), high tide 10:37 am (10:10–11:10 am), low tide 2:59 pm (2:20–3:40 pm) and high tide 6:22 pm (5:30–6:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.0 ft at 11 s), rain (0.68 in) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 43.3 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:23 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 7:22 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.
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 Saint George
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,431 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 3:10–5:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:42–5:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 1:27–2:27 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:52–7:52 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 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).
