5.3 ft waves every 9 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:41 am 2.5 ft · coef. 80
- ▼ Next low tide 1:09 pm 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:04 pm 0.7 ft · coef. 75
- ▼ Low tide 10:44 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 16 min to low tide at 1:09 pm.
Tide coefficient 80 for the 5:41 am high tide and 75 for the 5:04 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.4 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 December 24 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on May 16 (-0.3 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 9 (coefficient 98, 1.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 29, 1.4 ft).

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.3 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell, current and heavy rain. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell, current and heavy rain.
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 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:54–9:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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 2.8 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 2.8 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) 2.8 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
