Not a beach day · 0 out of 10 No good beach time today.
  • Mostly sunny
  • Feels like 71 °F: mild
  • UV 4 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen
  • Water at 68 °F (cool)
  • Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
  • Dangerous for swimming: 5.1 ft waves every 10 s; high rip current risk

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 · 5.1 ft

    5.1 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.

  • Water 68 °F

    Cool: refreshing on a hot day.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 4 · SPF 30

    Max UV 4 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

  • Wind 20 mph

    Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): blowing sand. Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 7:01 pm

    Low tide at 5:13 am and 7:01 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 12:53 am and 11:34 am.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

  • ▲ High tide 11:34 am 6.3 ft · coef. 82

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 4 min to low tide at 7:01 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 12:53 am high tide and 82 for the 11:34 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 (6.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-1.8 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 97, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 32, 3.9 ft).

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 12:20 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
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:59–10:59 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.4 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep800 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 6.6 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
