Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 1:06 am 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:38 am 1.8 ft · coef. 85
  • ▼ Low tide 11:49 am 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 29 min to high tide at 6:26 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 5:38 am high tide and 84 for the 6:26 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 15 (3.2 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (-1.0 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 86, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Easton Point station (NOAA), 1.1 mi from Easton. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Baltimore reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Easton

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:50 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:50 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current, though with low light.

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
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:03–11:03 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 1.5 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Easton) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.5 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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 1.5 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.5 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
