  • ▲ High tide 11:11 pm 5.0 ft · coef. 79

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 33 min to high tide at 10:37 am.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 10:37 am high tide and 79 for the 11:11 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.4 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 (6.9 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-1.1 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 90, 6.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 3.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Barren Island station (NOAA), 1.2 mi from Rockaway Inlet. 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.

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 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, 9:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:11 am–12:11 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:02–9:02 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 90 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 31 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep90 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 31 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 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.8 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.
