Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, combines the 4:57 pm low tide, a major period, sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 3:00 am to 3:40 am, with the 4:05 am low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, with the 10:40 am high tide, moonset and some swell, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: summer flounder, weakfish, longfin inshore squid and scup. October is one of the months when these are seen most: weakfish and longfin inshore squid. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:05 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:40 am 5.5 ft · coef. 86
  • ▼ Low tide 4:57 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 17 min to high tide at 11:05 pm.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 10:40 am high tide and 84 for the 11:05 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.6 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 June 15 (5.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.8 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 88, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 3.0 ft).

The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, 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, 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 11:20 am, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:59–10:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:12–8:12 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 220 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 17 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep220 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 17 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
