Lota has no tide station nearby: this tide is calculated with a global ocean model. It is approximate (it may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches) and not for navigation. How we calculate it
Today there are high tides at 1:11 am (2.9 ft) and 1:48 pm (0.9 ft) and low tides at 7:58 am and 7:20 pm. Tide coefficient 89. Right now the tide is falling toward the low tide at 7:58 am. In Lota the tide is mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights. The next spring tides: from November 9 to 11.
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:11 am 2.9 ft · coef. 89
- ▼ Next low tide 7:58 am -2.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:48 pm 0.9 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 7:20 pm -1.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 58 min to low tide at 7:58 am.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 1:11 am high tide and 83 for the 1:48 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.0 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?
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation.

Lota has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.4 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.
