Tides in Low Moor
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:45 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:59 am 4.2 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 5:33 pm -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:27 pm 3.3 ft · coef. 85
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 3 min to low tide at 5:33 am.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 10:59 am high tide and 85 for the 11:27 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (4.4 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-0.7 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 26 to 27 (coefficient 90, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Sea Bright station (NOAA), 1.1 mi from Low Moor. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Sandy Hook reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Low Moor
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.4 ft with a period of 8 s, from the east-southeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Low Moor today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.1 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:59 am)
- Light: First light 6:53 am · sunrise 7:21 am · sunset 5:58 pm · last light 6:26 pm
- Tide: low 4:45 am (-0.0 ft), high 10:59 am (4.2 ft), low 5:33 pm (-0.1 ft) and high 11:27 pm (3.3 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 61.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 44 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, though with 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.
Diving in Low Moor today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:59 am): little current from 10:20 am to 11:40 am
- 2.2 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the south-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:45 am (4:00–5:20 am), high tide 10:59 am (10:20–11:40 am), low tide 5:33 pm (5:00–6:00 pm) and high tide 11:27 pm (10:40 pm–12:10 am)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.1 ft at 8 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 61.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.
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.

The moon in Low Moor
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:01–8:01 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.3 mi out for 33 ft of water. Right off the beach it already drops to about 16 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

- 33 ft deep1.3 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 16 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
