Good day · 7 out of 10 2:10–3:50 am Also 2:50–4:20 pm and 9:50–10:30 am
  • Low tide at 3:08 am
  • Major period 1:48–3:48 am
  • Steady pressure (30.24 inHg), light offshore wind (9 mph) and some swell (3.1 ft waves) to stir the water
  • Waning gibbous: a bit more activity than at the quarters
  • Highest tide coefficient today: 87 (average tides)

Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 am to 3:50 am, combines the 3:08 am low tide, a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:50 pm to 4:20 pm, with the 3:54 pm low tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 9:50 am to 10:30 am, with the 9:29 am high tide, moonset and some swell, though with moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: spot, Atlantic croaker, southern kingfish and weakfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: black sea bass. What you can catch

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:29 am 6.4 ft · coef. 87
  • ▼ Low tide 3:54 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 39 min to high tide at 9:38 pm.

Tide coefficient 87 for the 9:29 am high tide and 85 for the 9:38 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.6 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 (6.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-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 89, 6.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 41, 3.3 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Yaupon Beach

Moderate Douglas 4 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 4.1 ft · 6.2 s from the east (93°)
Swell 3.3 ft · 6.2 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.6 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.1 ft
  • Significant4.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest8.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph NE · gusts 20
Offshore (12 mi SSE)Offshore 23 mph NE · gusts 30

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 9:30 am, combines slack water at high 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:54–10:54 am 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (900 ft from Yaupon Beach) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
