  • Surfing
    No mid-tide window in daylight

    Tide stage only. Swell, sandbars and local breaks decide what works.

    Under 1.5 ft around low water. Launch before 10:00 AM.

Moving water around the turn often fishes best. Local species and bait matter more than any chart.

About the tides at High Island

High Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 7, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

ICWW is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature and wind. It was established in 2012. The nearest other station is Rollover Pass, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 35 min earlier.
