Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:20 am to 2:50 am, combines the 1:50 am high tide and a major period. Also good from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, with the 1:28 pm low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze.

Species with the most records nearby: striped mullet, spot, southern flounder and spotted seatrout. October is one of the months when these are seen most: sheepshead and gray snapper. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:50 am 2.2 ft · coef. 109
  • ▼ Low tide 1:28 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 1 min to high tide at 2:51 am.

Tide coefficient 109 for the 1:50 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.2 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 October 3 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.1 ft).

Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

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 come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 116, 2.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 20, 0.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Milton station (NOAA), 1.2 mi from Bagdad. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Pensacola reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Bagdad

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 4.7 s from the southeast (130°)
Swell 0.8 ft · 3.8 s from the southeast

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph ENE · gusts 17
Offshore (24 mi S)Offshore 13 mph NE · gusts 17

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high.

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
  • 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:57–3:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:22–10:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:29–8:29 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 5.9 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Bagdad) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 8.2 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.4 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.4 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
