Tides in South Pasadena
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:52 am 2.7 ft · coef. 76
- ▼ Next low tide 10:55 am -0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 53 min to low tide at 10:55 am.
Tide coefficient 76 for the 1:52 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.9 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 June 15 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-1.0 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 8 to 10 (coefficient 94, 1.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 38, 1.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Long Key station (NOAA), 1.0 mi from South Pasadena. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the St. Petersburg reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at South Pasadena
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Monday 2: 1.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (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 75.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Flat- Barely any waves (0.6 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:55 am)
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
Rip current risk today: low · tomorrow: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.

- Tide: high 1:52 am (2.7 ft) and low 10:55 am (-0.2 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 74.3 °F–75.2 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:16 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 7:13 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 9:54 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:50 pm, with little swell, 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.
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 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:11–5:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:43–5:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:04 am–12:04 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:24–10:24 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. About 6.6 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
