Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:20 pm, combines the 2:18 pm low tide and a major period. Also worth a try from 7:30 am to 8:10 am, with the 8:27 am high tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 3:00 am to 3:40 am, with the 3:57 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: striped bass, spot, Atlantic croaker and weakfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: spot and weakfish. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:57 am 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:27 am 1.0 ft · coef. 82
  • ▼ Low tide 2:18 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 24 min to high tide at 9:20 pm.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 8:27 am high tide and 80 for the 9:20 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.9 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 June 14 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.6 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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 8 to 10 (coefficient 86, 1.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 46, 1.1 ft).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:30 am to 9:10 am, with slack water at high 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:42–3:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:16–8:16 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Brooklyn Park) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.9 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

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) 1.2 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
