Your day at a glance

The best window, 4:20 pm to 5:40 pm, combines the 5:24 pm low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze. Also good from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, with the 11:06 am high tide, moonset and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 3:30 am to 5:00 am, with the 4:29 am low tide and a major period, though with moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: sheepshead, Atlantic croaker, spot and weakfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: southern kingfish. What you can catch

Rip current risk today: high (statement in effect) (NWS)

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 5:24 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:25 pm 4.1 ft · coef. 77

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 1 min to low tide at 4:29 am.

Tide coefficient 79 for the 11:06 am high tide and 77 for the 11:25 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (5.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.9 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 84, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 2.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Daytona Beach Shores station (NOAA), 3.8 mi from Ponce Inlet. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Fernandina Beach reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Ponce Inlet

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 6.5 ft · 8.5 s from the east-northeast (71°)
Swell 6.1 ft · 7.6 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.4 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common3.3 ft
  • Significant6.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest13 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph NE · gusts 19
Offshore (11 mi NNW)Offshore 12 mph NE · gusts 19

Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.8 ft with a period of 8 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

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 (−1.9 °F).

The best window, 7:10 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 1:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 3:04–5:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:36–5:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:00 am–12:00 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:12–10:12 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (800 ft from Ponce Inlet) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
