↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 50 min to low tide at 7:45 pm.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 12:58 am high tide and 87 for the 2:40 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 28 (4.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 14 (-1.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 34, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Smathers Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Smith Shoal Light (NOAA), 15 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.
Station data attribution: Slackwater database (https://github.com/openwatersio/slackwater-database)
The sea at Smathers Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
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 83.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Diving in Smathers Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:40 pm): little current from 2:10 pm to 3:10 pm
- 1.2 ft swell at 4 s from the northeast: barely any surge
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the south-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 12:58 am (12:30–1:20 am), low tide 7:56 am (7:40–8:20 am), high tide 2:40 pm (2:10–3:10 pm) and low tide 7:45 pm (7:10–8:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 6 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:13 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:55 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 7:10 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.
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- 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:35–4:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:43–10:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:25–9:25 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 0.85 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.4 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
