Tides in Flumeville
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:36 am 4.7 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 6:19 am 2.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:23 pm 6.9 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 7:46 pm -1.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 26 min to high tide at 2:38 am.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 1:36 am high tide and 84 for the 12:23 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.0 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 December 24 (7.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-2.2 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 10 (coefficient 90, 6.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 38, 4.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Arena Cove station (NOAA), 1.0 mi from Flumeville. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Flumeville
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.6 ft
- Significant7.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 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 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: 7.9 ft with a period of 16 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 61.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.5 °F).

Surf in Flumeville today
Surf today
Fair- 3.0–4.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.9 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (6 mph)
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:23 pm)
- Light: First light 7:11 am · sunrise 7:38 am · sunset 6:19 pm · last light 6:46 pm
- Tide: high 1:36 am (4.7 ft), low 6:19 am (2.8 ft), high 12:23 pm (6.9 ft) and low 7:46 pm (-1.1 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 59.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 175 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:11 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 6:00 pm to 6:46 pm can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell and cross-shore 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.
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 Flumeville today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (12:23 pm): little current from 12:00 pm to 12:40 pm
- 4.1 ft swell at 8 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (15 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:36 am (1:10–2:10 am), low tide 6:19 am (5:40–6:50 am), high tide 12:23 pm (12:00–12:40 pm) and low tide 7:46 pm (7:30–8:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:46 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:04 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and 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 Flumeville
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:24–11:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:34–8:34 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 1,300 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 1,300 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
