Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 1.7 feet. The lowest water is -0.1 ft on Thursday, November 12 at 9:02 AM, and the highest is 1.6 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 8:08 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
