Tides in Bayport
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:19 am 4.0 ft · coef. 106
- ▼ Low tide 10:48 am -0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:56 pm 2.5 ft · coef. 103
- ▼ Next low tide 9:53 pm 1.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 0 min to low tide at 9:53 pm.
Tide coefficient 106 for the 3:19 am high tide and 103 for the 4:56 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 October 28 (4.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-1.1 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 107, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 29, 1.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Bayport station (NOAA), 1.2 mi from Bayport. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Bayport
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.1 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.0 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 75.9 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Bayport today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.1 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 3 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.6 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:48 am)
Rip current risk today: low · tomorrow: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.
Surf height from the NWS, today: up to 1.0 ft
- Light: First light 7:16 am · sunrise 7:40 am · sunset 6:49 pm · last light 7:13 pm
- Tide: high 3:19 am (4.0 ft), low 10:48 am (-0.6 ft), high 4:56 pm (2.5 ft) and low 9:53 pm (1.5 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 73.8 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:16 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:50 pm, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:10 am to 11:10 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current.
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 Bayport
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:38–4:38 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:17–9:17 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 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.
