The best window, 3:00 am to 5:00 am, combines the 3:58 am high tide, a major period and falling pressure. Also good from 7:30 am to 9:30 am, with the 8:32 am low tide, sunrise, falling pressure and a light onshore breeze. Also good from 8:50 pm to 9:30 pm, with the 9:51 pm low tide, moonrise and falling pressure.

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 5.5 ft

    5.5 ft waves every 10 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 2:44 pm 8.8 ft · coef. 80
  • ▼ Low tide 9:51 pm -1.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 56 min to high tide at 3:58 am.

Tide coefficient 83 for the 3:58 am high tide and 80 for the 2:44 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.1 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 (9.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-2.6 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 11 (coefficient 90, 8.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 37, 5.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Mad River Slough station (NOAA), 1.2 mi from Manila. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Humboldt Bay (North Spit) reference station with the official corrections.

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:16 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm also works, with a good size.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:40 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 1:40 pm to 3:10 pm, with 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
  • 3:04–5:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:43 am–12:43 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:31–9:31 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 0.55 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Manila) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
