Is it a beach day?

Rip current risk today: moderate · tomorrow: high (NWS)

Dangerous rip currents are possible: swim only near a lifeguard and follow the flags. If one pulls you out, swim parallel to the shore.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:25 am 3.5 ft · coef. 78
  • ▲ High tide 11:12 am 6.3 ft · coef. 72
  • ▼ Low tide 6:54 pm -0.5 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 23 min to low tide at 4:37 am.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 12:25 am high tide and 72 for the 11:12 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.8 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 July 13 (7.1 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-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 102, 5.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 22, 3.5 ft).

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 12:10 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:35–4:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:44–11:44 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:32–9:32 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.5 mi.

From the shoreline (900 ft from La Jolla Cove) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
