Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:40 pm to 3:50 pm, combines the 3:36 pm high tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 9:50 am to 10:50 am, with the 10:27 am low tide and moonset, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 2:30 am to 3:10 am, with the 3:26 am high tide and a major period, though with rising pressure.

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

  • ▲ High tide 3:36 pm 3.9 ft · coef. 85

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 18 min to low tide at 11:05 pm.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 3:26 am high tide and 85 for the 3:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a small 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 (4.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.5 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 came from October 26 to 29 (coefficient 85, 4.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 48, 2.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Pleasant Bay station (NOAA), 4.2 mi from Nauset Beach (Orleans). Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Boston reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Nauset Beach (Orleans)

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.2 ft · 5.2 s from the east-southeast (105°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 7.2 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

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 7 mph SSW · gusts 16

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 3.0 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 8:00 am, has glassy water. 9:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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.

Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:14–3:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:49–10:49 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 1,250 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,250 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
