↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 9 min to low tide at 3:32 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 10:42 am high tide and 81 for the 11:11 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 June 15 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-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 94, 5.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 1.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Newport station (NOAA), 2.1 mi from Newport East. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Newport East
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southwest (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 Newport East today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (8 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:42 am)
Rip current risk today: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.
Surf height from the NWS, today: 2.0 ft
- Light: First light 6:45 am · sunrise 7:13 am · sunset 5:44 pm · last light 6:12 pm
- Tide: low 3:32 am (-0.2 ft), high 10:42 am (4.5 ft), low 4:33 pm (0.1 ft) and high 11:11 pm (3.7 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 59.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.

The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, though with small waves and 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 3:40 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.
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- 2:23–4:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:56–4:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:47–8:47 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 550 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.5 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
