Tides in Ventnor City
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:47 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:17 am 5.4 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 4:48 pm 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:44 pm 3.8 ft · coef. 80
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 5 min to high tide at 10:17 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 10:17 am high tide and 80 for the 10:44 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 15 (5.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.8 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 90, 5.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Ventnor City station (NOAA), 0.4 mi from Ventnor City. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Ventnor City
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-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Ventnor City today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:17 am)
- Light: First light 6:55 am · sunrise 7:23 am · sunset 6:00 pm · last light 6:28 pm
- Tide: low 3:47 am (-0.1 ft), high 10:17 am (5.4 ft), low 4:48 pm (-0.0 ft) and high 10:44 pm (3.8 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 60.3 °F–61.2 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 13 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:50 pm to 5:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 9:30 am to 11:20 am, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:37–4:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:09–5:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:09 am–12:09 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:10–9:10 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 0.4 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
