Tides in Stebbins
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 7:47 am -0.8 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 11:29 pm 4.2 ft · coef. 100
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 38 min to high tide at 11:29 pm.
Tide coefficient 100 for the 11:29 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 16 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 5 (-1.9 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 on October 31 (coefficient 113, 5.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 9 (coefficient 25, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Stebbins station (NOAA), 0.4 mi from Stebbins. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Stebbins
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.9 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Surf in Stebbins today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (1.0 ft sets): flat
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:29 pm)
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 9:27 am · sunrise 10:18 am · sunset 6:47 pm · last light 7:38 pm
- Tide: low 7:47 am (-0.8 ft) and high 11:29 pm (4.2 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 37.8 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 11 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 Stebbins today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 0.6 ft swell at 3 s from the east-southeast: barely any surge
- Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 7:47 am (7:10–8:30 am) and high tide 11:29 pm (11:10–11:44 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Wind over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 37.8 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:38 pm. Waning gibbous (90%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with fresh wind. Also worth a look from 10:20 am to 11:30 am, with little swell and weak current, though with tidal current 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 226,428 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:39–5:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 4:11–6:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
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.
