Wind and weather at West Falmouth
Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.
| Day | Wind | Gusts | Air | Sky | Rain | Waves |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today | 3–10 kn N | 17 kn | 68–77 °F | Mostly cloudy | 10 % | 2 ft 7 s |

Boating, beach and fishing at West Falmouth
The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.
| Day | Boating | Beach | Fishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today | Goodwind 10 kn or less | Fairmostly cloudy | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Wed, August 19 | Fair3 ft of sea | Good77 °F and dry | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Thu, August 20 | Goodwind 9 kn or less | Fair42% chance of rain | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Fri, August 21 | Goodwind 8 kn or less | Fair40% chance of rain | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Sat, August 22 | Goodwind 10 kn or less | Fair57% chance of rain | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Sun, August 23 | Goodwind 10 kn or less | Poor60% chance of rain | Fair60% chance of rain |
| Mon, August 24 | Fair3 ft of sea | Fair34% chance of rain | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Solunar windows for West Falmouth
The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Questions about West Falmouth tides
Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.
- What time is high tide in West Falmouth today?
- High water at 12:26 am (3.7 ft) and 12:55 pm (4.1 ft), local time in West Falmouth. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.
- What time is low tide in West Falmouth today?
- Low water at 5:37 am (0.5 ft) and 6:21 pm (0.9 ft), local time in West Falmouth. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.
- How many tides does West Falmouth get in a day?
- Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 14 high waters and 13 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.
- What is the tidal range at West Falmouth?
- About 3.6 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.5 and 4.1 ft — a span of about 3.6 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.
- Which tide station do these West Falmouth tide times come from?
- NOAA station 8447685 — a reference station. Chappaquoit Point in West Falmouth Harbor, 1.1 km from the village center. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.
- What time zone are the West Falmouth tide times in?
- Every time on this page is clock time in West Falmouth — the America/New_York zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.
- When are the solunar windows at West Falmouth today?
- The major windows run 4:02 am to 6:02 am and 4:26 pm to 6:26 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over West Falmouth, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 36% lit and waxing.
- How far ahead does this West Falmouth tide chart go?
- Seven days in the table, and every high and low water for August 2026 and September 2026 in the calendar below it. The page is rebuilt every morning, so the first day is always today.
