Tides in Warwick
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 5:32 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:37 am 3.7 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Next low tide 6:40 pm 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:56 pm 2.8 ft · coef. 80
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 50 min to low tide at 6:40 pm.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 11:37 am high tide and 80 for the 11:56 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.4 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 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-0.4 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 84, 3.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 46, 2.1 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft

Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high. Also good from 5:20 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and light 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Warwick
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:36–3:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:59–10:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:13–8:13 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 490 ft. 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 490 ft. 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) 490 ft out.
