Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:20 pm, combines the 2:19 pm low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 2:40 am to 3:30 am, with the 3:36 am low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 7:30 am to 8:10 am, with the 8:26 am high tide and sunrise, 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 3:36 am 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:26 am 1.1 ft · coef. 85
  • ▼ Low tide 2:19 pm 0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 21 min to high tide at 9:14 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 8:26 am high tide and 83 for the 9:14 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.8 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 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (-0.5 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, 1.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Stony Creek station (NOAA), 3.9 mi from Pasadena. 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 Pasadena

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light air, Beaufort 1

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.1 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph ENE · gusts 5
Offshore (19 mi ESE)Offshore 3 mph ENE · gusts 8

Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:50 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
  • 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:06–11:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:17–8:17 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.
