Your day at a glance

The best window, 6:40 am to 7:50 am, combines the 7:35 am low tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 1:30 am to 2:10 am, with the 1:13 am high tide, a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also good from 12:30 pm to 2:20 pm, with the 1:23 pm high tide and a major period.

Species with the most records nearby: Atlantic cod, winter flounder, haddock and pollock. October is one of the months when these are seen most: winter flounder and longfin inshore squid. What you can catch

  • ▼ Low tide 7:35 am 0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:23 pm 11.3 ft · coef. 84

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 17 min to low tide at 8:16 pm.

Tide coefficient 84 for the 1:13 am high tide and 84 for the 1:23 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 12.0 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 (11.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-1.5 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 27 to 29 (coefficient 84, 12.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 47, 6.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Manchester-by-the-Sea has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Essex (NOAA), 3.7 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Sea and waves

The sea at Manchester-by-the-Sea

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.2 ft · 7.7 s from the east-southeast (103°)
Swell 1.0 ft · 7.8 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SSE · gusts 9
Offshore (5.5 mi S)Offshore 4 mph S · gusts 8

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

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:10 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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: high
  • 1:17–3:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:56–10:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:38–7:38 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 550 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (0.75 mi from Manchester-by-the-Sea) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 6.6 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
