Where this tide comes from
Playa La Tranquera has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Playa La Tranquera
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.9 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 53.2 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.3 °F).

Surf in Playa La Tranquera today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.2 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (4 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:09 pm)
- Light: First light 5:41 am · sunrise 6:13 am · sunset 8:16 pm · last light 8:49 pm
- Tide: high 5:51 am (8.2 ft), low 12:09 pm (-6.6 ft) and high 6:06 pm (8.5 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 53.8 °F–55.0 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 6 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:50 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:40 pm to 7:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Playa La Tranquera
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:41–7:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:39 pm–12:39 am Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
