Tides in Carmel-by-the-Sea
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:04 am 3.8 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Low tide 5:26 am 2.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:42 am 6.2 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Next low tide 7:17 pm -0.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 18 min to low tide at 7:17 pm.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 1:04 am high tide and 82 for the 11:42 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.1 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 24 (6.8 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.9 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 8 to 9 (coefficient 92, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 35, 3.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Carmel Cove station (NOAA), 2.6 mi from Carmel-by-the-Sea. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Monterey reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Carmel-by-the-Sea
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.4 ft with a period of 15 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.

Surf in Carmel-by-the-Sea today
Surf today
Good- 3.0–4.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.7 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:42 am)
- Light: First light 7:01 am · sunrise 7:27 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:42 pm
- Tide: high 1:04 am (3.8 ft), low 5:26 am (2.6 ft), high 11:42 am (6.2 ft) and low 7:17 pm (-0.9 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.
- Water at 66.0 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 157 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:01 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
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 Carmel-by-the-Sea today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (11:42 am): little current from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm
- 4.6 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:04 am (12:30–1:50 am), low tide 5:26 am (4:40–6:00 am), high tide 11:42 am (11:20 am–12:00 pm) and low tide 7:17 pm (7:00–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.8 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 66.0 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:42 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:05 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high 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 Carmel-by-the-Sea
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:08–11:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:35–8:35 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.95 mi.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Carmel-by-the-Sea) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep370 ft
- 33 ft deep1,000 ft
- 66 ft deep0.5 mi
- 164 ft deep0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 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 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
