Tides in Cutler
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:26 am 14.9 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 6:31 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:42 pm 16.2 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 7:04 pm -1.4 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 29 min to high tide at 1:15 am.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 12:26 am high tide and 84 for the 12:42 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 17.6 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 25 (16.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-2.1 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 29 (coefficient 84, 17.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 9.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Cutler station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Cutler. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Cutler
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Surf in Cutler today
Surf today
Fair- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.5 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:42 pm)
Rip current risk tomorrow: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.
- Light: First light 6:31 am · sunrise 7:01 am · sunset 5:23 pm · last light 5:53 pm
- Tide: high 12:26 am (14.9 ft), low 6:31 am (-0.1 ft), high 12:42 pm (16.2 ft) and low 7:04 pm (-1.4 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 51.1 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 29 kJ · Low power

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind. 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm also works.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, 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.
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: high- 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:50–10:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:14–7:14 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. About 9.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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 0.8 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 300 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.8 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
