Planning around the tide

  • Surfing: many breaks work best at a particular stage of the tide, and a spot can change a lot between low and high. Use the rising and falling windows above to time a session, and pair them with a swell and wind forecast.
  • Fishing: many anglers plan around moving water in the hours either side of a high or low tide. This week's biggest high is Thu, Oct 29 at 3:06 PM (4.2 ft).
  • Beachcombing & tide pools: the lowest tides expose the most beach. This week's lowest predicted tide is Wed, Oct 28 at 8:27 PM (-0.4 ft). Today's daylight low: 4:26 PM.

Predictions are astronomical and don't include wind, waves, or storm surge. Not for navigation.
