Tides in Marconi
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:43 am 4.3 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 8:41 am 2.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:25 pm 5.9 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Next low tide 9:52 pm -0.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 58 min to low tide at 9:52 pm.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 2:43 am high tide and 81 for the 1:25 pm 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 December 24 (6.4 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.6 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 10 (coefficient 89, 5.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 40, 4.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Reynolds station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Marconi. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the San Francisco (Golden Gate) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Marconi
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.6 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 southwest 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.

Diving in Marconi today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (1:25 pm): little current from 1:10 pm to 2:10 pm
- 4.2 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:43 am (2:20–3:50 am), low tide 8:41 am (7:30–9:00 am), high tide 1:25 pm (1:10–2:10 pm) and low tide 9:52 pm (9:20–10:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.1 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 60.4 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:44 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:40 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, 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 Marconi
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:17–11:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:33–8:33 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 160 ft from shore and 0.3 ft at 1 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 18 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep160 ft
- 33 ft deepnot within 1 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
