Tides in Perry
Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Next low tide 7:40 pm -2.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 50 min to low tide at 7:40 pm.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 12:53 am high tide and 86 for the 1:11 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 24.4 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 (22.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.6 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 27 to 29 (coefficient 86, 24.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 47, 12.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Garnet Point station (NOAA), 4.5 mi from Perry. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Perry
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the northwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:00 am to 7:50 am, with slack water at low tide, small waves, 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.

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

- 9:51–10:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:12–7:12 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.

Water depth
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,200 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.95 mi.

- 16 ft deep1,200 ft
- 33 ft deep0.45 mi
- 66 ft deep0.6 mi
- 164 ft deep0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
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) 1.6 mi out.
