Tides in Miami Shores
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 5:41 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:43 am 3.0 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 6:12 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 11:48 pm 2.8 ft · coef. 85
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 44 min to high tide at 11:48 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 11:43 am high tide and 85 for the 11:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.0 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 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.7 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, 3.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Biscayne Creek station (NOAA), 2.2 mi from Miami Shores. 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.

The sea at Miami Shores
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the northeast (moderate).
Water temperature

Diving in Miami Shores today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (6:12 pm): little current from 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm
- 2.2 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the south-southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 5:41 am (5:10–6:00 am), high tide 11:43 am (11:28 am–12:20 pm), low tide 6:12 pm (5:40–6:30 pm) and high tide 11:48 pm (11:30 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.2 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.74 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.4–83.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:05 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:45 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:50 pm to 6:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:10 am to 12:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.
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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:56–3:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:40–10:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:15–9:15 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.6 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.6 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) 1.6 mi out.
