↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 27 min to low tide at 1:19 am.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 6:08 am high tide and 78 for the 6:46 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 May 18 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (0.0 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 26 to 31 (coefficient 78, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 16 to 20 (coefficient 58, 1.8 ft).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind and the sun high. Also good from 5:00 pm to 6:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, small waves and light wind. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 10:30 am, with small waves, light wind and the sun high, though with tidal 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
  • 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:01–11:01 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 230 ft from shore and 11 ft at 800 ft. Right off the beach it already drops to about 29 ft.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Vienna) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep230 ft
  • 33 ft deepnot within 800 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 800 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 800 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 29 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 800 ft. 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) 800 ft out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
