Tides

Tides in Doyle

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:02 am 0.8 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:20 pm -0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 h 46 min to high tide at 4:12 am.

In Doyle the astronomical tide is very small: about 1.0 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 15 (0.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.4 ft).

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 1:10 pm, combines small waves, light wind and the sun high.

In Doyle the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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
  • 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:20–9:20 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 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Doyle) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 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 3.1 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. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
