Tides in Cameron
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:38 am 2.2 ft · coef. 111
- ▼ Low tide 10:50 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:00 pm 2.3 ft · coef. 116
- ▼ Next low tide 11:29 pm 2.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 43 min to low tide at 11:29 pm.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 2:38 am high tide and 116 for the 7:00 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 May 17 (2.4 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-1.4 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 28 to 30 (coefficient 117, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Cameron has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Calcasieu Pass (NOAA), 2.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Cameron
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Tuesday 3: 2.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 76.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.0 °F).

Surf in Cameron today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (6 mph)
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:50 am)
- Light: First light 7:00 am · sunrise 7:24 am · sunset 6:30 pm · last light 6:54 pm
- Tide: high 2:38 am (2.2 ft), low 10:50 am (-0.3 ft), high 7:00 pm (2.3 ft) and low 11:29 pm (2.0 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 75.0 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 6 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, though with a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:40 pm to 6:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Cameron
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:46–10:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:58–8:58 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.7 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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.
