Tides in Newburyport
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:15 am 8.3 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 8:27 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 2:29 pm 9.9 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Low tide 9:13 pm -0.7 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 29 min to low tide at 8:27 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 2:15 am high tide and 82 for the 2:29 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.7 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 May 19 (10.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.2 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 27 to 30 (coefficient 83, 10.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 50, 6.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Newburyport station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Newburyport. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Newburyport
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (slight).

Surf in Newburyport today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.0 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:29 pm)
- Light: First light 6:45 am · sunrise 7:14 am · sunset 5:40 pm · last light 6:09 pm
- Tide: high 2:15 am (8.3 ft), low 8:27 am (0.3 ft), high 2:29 pm (9.9 ft) and low 9:13 pm (-0.7 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 56.1 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, 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.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:21–4:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:09 am–12:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 12 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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 3.1 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.
