Your day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 11:00 am, combines the 11:09 am high tide and moonset, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 6:10 pm to 6:50 pm, with the 5:48 pm low tide and sunset, though with moderate wind. Also good from 4:00 am to 6:00 am, with the 4:57 am low tide and a major period.

Is it a beach day?

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

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.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 11:09 am 8.7 ft · coef. 83
  • ▼ Low tide 5:48 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 34 min to high tide at 11:29 pm.

Tide coefficient 83 for the 11:09 am high tide and 81 for the 11:29 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.7 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 27 (8.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.3 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 25 to 28 (coefficient 84, 8.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 5.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Jekyll Island Marina station (NOAA), 0.9 mi from Jekyll Island. 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Jekyll Island

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · strong breeze, Beaufort 6
Waves 5.4 ft · 6.9 s from the east-northeast (71°)
Swell 3.9 ft · 7.5 s from the east
Current 0.2 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.7 ft
  • Significant5.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest11 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 18 mph NE · gusts 35
Offshore (11 mi ESE)Offshore 26 mph NE · gusts 36

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Water colder than normal for late October (−3.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 5:00 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and fresh wind.

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
  • 2:02–4:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:05–9:05 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Jekyll Island) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 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 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
