Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 4:53 pm -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:37 pm 4.2 ft · coef. 81
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 7 min to low tide at 4:10 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 11:07 am high tide and 81 for the 11:37 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.5 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 June 14 (5.7 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (-0.6 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 28 (coefficient 92, 5.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 2.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Kickamuit River station (NOAA), 2.2 mi from Ocean Grove. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Ocean Grove
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 1.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:23–4:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:55–4:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:46–8:46 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 2.9 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.9 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.9 mi out.
