Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:30 pm to 3:50 pm, combines the 3:31 pm low tide and a major period. Also worth a try from 1:30 am to 3:20 am, with the 2:32 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 9:50 am to 10:40 am, with the 9:37 am high tide and moonset, though with rising pressure.

  • ▼ Low tide 3:31 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 9 min to high tide at 10:04 pm.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 9:37 am high tide and 88 for the 10:04 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.0 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 (5.0 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, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Nannaquaket Neck station (NOAA), 0.7 mi from Tiverton. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Newport reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Tiverton

7-day waves

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.6 ft · 6.7 s from the south-southeast (155°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 ft.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:10 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 4:50 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.

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: high
  • 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:54–10:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:44–7:44 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Tiverton) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
