Tides in Falcon
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 8:27 am 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:55 pm 2.4 ft · coef. 111
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 35 min to low tide at 8:27 am.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 10:55 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on June 15 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (0.0 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 111, 2.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 20, 0.7 ft).

The sea at Falcon
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 6.0 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Falcon today
Surf today
Good- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers

- Falling tide (low tide at 8:27 am)
- Light: First light 4:56 am · sunrise 5:22 am · sunset 6:41 pm · last light 7:06 pm
- Tide: low 8:27 am (0.4 ft) and high 10:55 pm (2.4 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 65.1 °F–67.3 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 130 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 11:00 am to 2:00 pm also works, with a good size.
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.

- Water at 65.1–67.3 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 7:06 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 10:34 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 3:00 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and some swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:22–3:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:47–7:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:04–11:04 pm 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 0.35 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
