↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 min to high tide at 1:31 pm.

Tide coefficient 90 for the 1:31 pm high tide and 86 for the 11:37 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.0 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 December 24 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 99, 2.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 30, 1.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Lăng Cô has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Lăng Cô

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 4.9 ft · 7.9 s from the east-northeast (61°)
Swell 4.9 ft · 6.6 s from the east-northeast

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.5 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest10.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph ENE · gusts 17
Offshore (11 mi E)Offshore 9 mph ENE · gusts 14

Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:22 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with 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.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:54–2:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:15–9:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:36–8:36 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Lăng Cô) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
