Tides in Sabine Pass
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:05 am 1.9 ft · coef. 109
- ▼ Low tide 11:25 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 7:38 pm 2.2 ft · coef. 114
- ▼ Low tide 11:51 pm 1.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 min to high tide at 7:38 pm.
Tide coefficient 109 for the 3:05 am high tide and 114 for the 7:38 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.3 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 May 17 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (-1.2 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 115, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 23 (coefficient 20, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Sabine Pass has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sabine Pass (NOAA), 0.4 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 Sabine Pass
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 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: 2.8 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 76.6 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.0 °F).

Surf in Sabine Pass today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:25 am)
- Light: First light 7:02 am · sunrise 7:26 am · sunset 6:32 pm · last light 6:56 pm
- Tide: high 3:05 am (1.9 ft), low 11:25 am (-0.2 ft), high 7:38 pm (2.2 ft) and low 11:51 pm (1.8 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: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:02 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:56 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:48–10:48 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 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.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
