- ▲ High tide 12:09 pm 9.3 ft · coef. 79
- ▼ Low tide 6:24 pm 0.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 17 min to low tide at 5:34 am.
Tide coefficient 79 for the 12:09 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 9.3 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 (9.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.4 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, 9.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 47, 5.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Coffee Bluff station (NOAA), 2.8 mi from Vernonburg. 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:50 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with 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- 3:04–5:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:37–5:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:04–10:04 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 1.7 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 1.7 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) 1.7 mi out.
