Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:10 pm to 4:30 pm, combines the 4:11 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 9:50 am to 10:50 am, with the 9:54 am high tide, moonset and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 2:20 am to 4:00 am, with the 3:15 am low tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind.

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

Is it a beach day?

Rip current risk today: high · tomorrow: high (NWS)

Stay out of the water: rip currents can pull even strong swimmers out to sea. If one catches you, don't swim against it: swim parallel to the shore and wave for help.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:54 am 5.2 ft · coef. 86
  • ▼ Low tide 4:11 pm 0.7 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 4 min to high tide at 10:08 pm.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 9:54 am high tide and 85 for the 10:08 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.1 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 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-1.0 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, 5.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 2.6 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Cape Canaveral

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 3.2 ft · 7.5 s from the east-northeast (62°)
Swell 2.6 ft · 8.0 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.6 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.6 ft
  • Significant3.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 15 mph NE · gusts 29
Offshore (9.1 mi NE)Offshore 22 mph NE · gusts 30

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore wind.

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, 10:30 am to 11:10 am, combines light wind and the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell and current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:49–10:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:09–9:09 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: you need to go 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Cape Canaveral) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
