Tides in Biloxi
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:20 am 2.2 ft · coef. 109
- ▼ Low tide 10:13 am -0.5 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 10 min to high tide at 1:03 am.
Tide coefficient 109 for the 12:20 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 December 23 (2.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 14 (-0.8 ft).
Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.
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 29 to 30 (coefficient 116, 2.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 26, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Biloxi station (NOAA), 1.5 mi from Biloxi. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Biloxi
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 73.4 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.4 °F).

- Tide: high 12:20 am (2.2 ft) and low 10:13 am (-0.5 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 70.9 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 1 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.
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, 9:30 am to 11:20 am, combines slack water at low 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:29–10:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:38–8:38 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 750 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
