Tides in Laguna Beach
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 7:56 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:40 pm 2.2 ft · coef. 116
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 13 min to high tide at 9:40 pm.
Tide coefficient 116 for the 9:40 pm 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 28 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 30 (-1.0 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 28 to 29 (coefficient 116, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 24, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Panama City Beach station (NOAA), 3.3 mi from Laguna Beach. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Laguna Beach
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 1.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southeast (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:20 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 3:30 pm, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:16–10:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:26–8:26 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. About 9.2 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. 33 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
