↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 53 min to high tide at 1:46 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:56 am high tide and 87 for the 1:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.0 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 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.3 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, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 0.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Cormorant Point station (NOAA), 1.9 mi from North Key Largo. 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 North Key Largo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 82.6 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in North Key Largo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 1:41 pm)
- Light: First light 7:03 am · sunrise 7:27 am · sunset 6:43 pm · last light 7:07 pm
- Tide: high 12:56 am (1.0 ft), low 7:03 am (-0.0 ft), high 1:41 pm (1.0 ft) and low 7:34 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 80.1 °F–81.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:03 am to 11:00 am, though with a short-period swell.
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.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in North Key Largo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.6 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast: barely any surge

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.5 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 80.1–81.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:07 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:47 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 7:30 am to 8:30 am, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:39–10:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:17–9:17 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.8 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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.
