Your day at a glance

The best window, 3:10 pm to 4:30 pm, combines the 4:07 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with fresh wind. Also good from 10:30 pm to 11:10 pm, with the 10:08 pm high tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:40 am to 4:00 am, with the 3:36 am low tide and a major period, though with fresh wind.

Species with the most records nearby: striped mullet, spotted seatrout, sheepshead and red drum. 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, 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.

  • ▼ Low tide 4:07 pm 0.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 17 min to high tide at 10:08 pm.

Tide coefficient 87 for the 10:03 am high tide and 85 for the 10:08 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 27 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-1.0 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, 4.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Melbourne has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Canova Beach (NOAA), 4.2 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 waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest8.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 19 mph ENE · gusts 29
Offshore (8.8 mi SE)Offshore 19 mph NE · gusts 24

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:40 pm to 4:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some 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.

Solunar periods

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

  • 9:48–10:48 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 1.7 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1,150 ft from Melbourne) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.7 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 1.7 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.7 mi out.
