Tides in Santa Venetia
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:25 am 4.9 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Low tide 8:14 am 2.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:10 pm 6.9 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 9:37 pm -1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 39 min to low tide at 9:37 pm.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 3:25 am high tide and 83 for the 2:10 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 23 (7.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-2.1 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 9 to 10 (coefficient 90, 6.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 39, 4.1 ft).

Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 Wednesday 28: 5.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:40 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 8:30 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:32–8:32 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.
