Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:04 am 4.9 ft · coef. 83
  • ▼ Low tide 8:54 am 2.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:46 pm 6.8 ft · coef. 81

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 23 min to low tide at 10:05 pm.

Tide coefficient 83 for the 4:04 am high tide and 81 for the 2:46 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.7 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 (7.4 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 7 to 10 (coefficient 89, 6.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 40, 4.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Vallejo station (NOAA), 1.0 mi from Vallejo. 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Vallejo

Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Vallejo: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SW · gusts 4
Offshore (28 mi SSW)Offshore 10 mph WNW · gusts 18

Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Water now65.5 °F
Today 64.9–65.5 °F air: 44 / 70 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 63.7 °F measured 2.5 mi away

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 63.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.9 °F).

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:15–11:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:31–8:31 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Vallejo) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 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.
