- ▼ Low tide 8:34 pm -1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 46 min to low tide at 7:54 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 1:51 am high tide and 84 for the 2:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 12.8 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 16 (12.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-1.7 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 29 (coefficient 86, 12.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 20 (coefficient 47, 6.3 ft).

Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:55–4:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:08 am–12:08 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:42–8:42 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 300 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (2.3 mi from Ten Hills) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep90 ft
- 33 ft deep300 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.5 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 33 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. 33 ft deep 300 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.5 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
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) 0.5 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
