Best fishing times today
Fish feed on moving water, so the two hours either side of each tide change are the ones to plan around. Today’s changes are at 3:05 AM (low), 9:27 AM (high), 3:29 PM (low), 9:47 PM (high). Today’s solunar periods that land in those windows: major 9:14 AM–11:14 AM, near the 9:27 AM high; major 9:44 PM–11:44 PM, near the 9:47 PM high; minor 3:36 AM–4:36 AM, near the 3:05 AM low; minor 3:48 PM–4:48 PM, near the 3:29 PM low. Solunar periods are worked out for these coordinates; how much they matter is open to question.

About these predictions
The times and heights on this page are NOAA’s predictions for station 8418557, Old Orchard Beach, 0.8 miles from Old Orchard Beach. It is a subordinate station: NOAA derives it from reference station 8418150 with fixed time and height offsets, so it gives highs and lows only, and the curves above are drawn between them. Heights are in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the datum on US charts; a negative height is a tide below that level. Predictions describe the astronomical tide and do not include wind, pressure or river flow. NOAA’s own table is here. Not for navigation.

Questions
When is high tide in Old Orchard Beach today?
9:27 AM (9.0 ft) and 9:47 PM (9.1 ft), by NOAA's prediction for Old Orchard Beach. Low tide is at 3:05 AM (0.7 ft) and 3:29 PM (0.6 ft).
Where do these tide times come from?
From NOAA's tide predictions for station 8418557, Old Orchard Beach, 0.8 miles from Old Orchard Beach. It is a subordinate station: NOAA computes its times and heights from reference station 8418150 with fixed offsets. Heights are in feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), times in local time with daylight saving.
Are these tide times good for navigation?
No. They are predictions of the astronomical tide; wind, pressure and river flow can move the real water by a foot or more and shift the times. For navigation use NOAA’s own predictions and official charts, and look at the water.
What is the best time to fish the tide in Old Orchard Beach?
Moving water usually fishes better than slack: the two hours either side of a change, and especially the first of the outgoing tide in estuaries and inlets. Below we mark today’s solunar periods that land in those windows; the report for the nearest water adds weather and pressure.
