- ▼ Low tide 7:49 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:47 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 86
- ▼ Next low tide 8:46 pm 0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 0 min to low tide at 8:46 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 1:18 am high tide and 86 for the 1:47 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 October 27 (1.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.5 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, 1.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Millenbeck station (NOAA), 1.7 mi from Bertrand. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Bertrand
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northeast (slight).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:22–8:22 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

- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 2.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.3 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 2.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
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) 2.3 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
