Tides in Wright
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 4:44 am 0.6 ft · coef. 115
- ▼ Low tide 3:56 pm 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 40 min to high tide at 4:44 am.
Tide coefficient 115 for the 4:44 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 0.6 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 3 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-0.3 ft).
Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.
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 come from October 29 to 30 (coefficient 116, 0.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 20, 0.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Shalimar station (NOAA), 3.4 mi from Wright. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Pensacola reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Wright
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southeast (slight).

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 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:27–4:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:00–5:00 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:28–11:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:32–9:32 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.
