↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 48 min to high tide at 6:41 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 8:21 am high tide and 86 for the 6:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 17.1 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 January 5 (15.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-4.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 90, 17.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 40, 11.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Horsehead Bay station (NOAA), 2.5 mi from Rosedale. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Seattle reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Rosedale
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Rosedale: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

The moon in Rosedale
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:58–11:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:50–7:50 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, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.
From the shoreline (750 ft from Rosedale) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.85 mi
- 33 ft deep1.1 mi
- 66 ft deep1.3 mi
- 164 ft deep1.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.85 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 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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.
