Tides in Tice
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 5:18 am 1.9 ft · coef. 71
- ▼ Low tide 2:26 pm 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:50 pm 0.9 ft · coef. 65
- ▼ Low tide 11:41 pm 0.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 49 min to high tide at 5:18 am.
Tide coefficient 71 for the 5:18 am high tide and 65 for the 8:50 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.8 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 (1.9 ft) and the lowest, on January 30 (-0.6 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 95, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 39, 1.0 ft).

The sea at Tice
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.0 ft with a period of 2 s, from the northeast (smooth).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

The moon in Tice
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:07–5:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:40–5:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:57–11:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:23–10:23 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 1.9 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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 1.9 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) 1.9 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
