Tides in Savannah
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:35 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:53 am 9.9 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 5:23 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:14 pm 8.5 ft · coef. 81
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 31 min to low tide at 5:23 pm.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 10:53 am high tide and 81 for the 11:14 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.0 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 (10.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.5 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 85, 10.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 47, 5.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Savannah station (NOAA), 0.5 mi from Savannah. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Fort Pulaski reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Savannah
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the east (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with waves. Also worth a look from 4:50 pm to 6:20 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with waves.
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- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:00–9:00 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 0.55 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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 0.55 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) 0.55 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
