Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:43 pm 2.7 ft · coef. 82
  • ▼ Low tide 7:13 pm 0.6 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 38 min to low tide at 6:41 am.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 12:43 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 27 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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 89, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Dinner Key Marina station (NOAA), 2.0 mi from Coral Gables. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Government Cut reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Coral Gables

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.1 ft · 6.3 s from the east-northeast (61°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 6.3 s from the northeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNW · gusts 8
Offshore (15 mi S)Offshore 9 mph ENE · gusts 13

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:40 am to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:00 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak 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
  • 3:01–5:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:33–5:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:48–11:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:19–10:19 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

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Coral Gables) out to sea, heading southeast.

  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
