Tides in Harrington
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:33 am 11.8 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 6:49 am 0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:44 pm 13.4 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 7:26 pm -1.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 27 min to high tide at 1:21 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 12:33 am high tide and 83 for the 12:44 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.4 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 25 (13.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-1.5 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 come from October 27 to 30 (coefficient 83, 14.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 49, 7.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Harrington has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Millbridge (NOAA), 6.3 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 Harrington
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at low tide, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Harrington
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:53–10:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:16–7:16 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.
