Tides in Malabar
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:21 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:10 pm 0.5 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Next low tide 6:52 pm 0.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 1 min to low tide at 6:52 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 12:10 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a small 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 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.4 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, 0.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, -0.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Malabar has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Micco (NOAA), 9.9 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Government Cut reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Malabar
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 8.2 ft with a period of 10 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.5 °F).

Surf in Malabar today
Surf today
Poor- 4.7–7.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 6.6 ft swell at 8 s from the east-northeast, a bit short
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:52 pm)
Rip current risk today: high · tomorrow: high (NWS, statement in effect)
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.
Surf height from the NWS, today: 8.0–9.0 ft
- Light: First light 7:07 am · sunrise 7:31 am · sunset 6:41 pm · last light 7:05 pm
- Tide: low 6:21 am (-0.0 ft), high 12:10 pm (0.5 ft) and low 6:52 pm (0.3 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 76.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 570 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 7:07 am to 8:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with big surf and onshore 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.
Diving in Malabar today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 6.6 ft swell at 8 s from the east-northeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 11:25 pm (10:00 pm–12:50 am), low tide 6:21 am (5:00–7:50 am), high tide 12:10 pm (10:50 am–1:40 pm), low tide 6:52 pm (5:30–8:20 pm) and high tide 12:15 am (10:50 pm–1:40 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.4 ft at 9 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 76.6 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:05 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:40 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and fresh wind.
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 Malabar
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:10–9:10 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 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
