  • Swimming Use care · 4.6 ft

    4.6 ft waves every 8 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • ▲ High tide 2:00 pm 0.8 ft · coef. 83
  • ▼ Low tide 7:31 pm -1.6 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 43 min to low tide at 8:11 am.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 1:23 am high tide and 83 for the 2:00 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?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (3.5 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (-2.6 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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. mean sea level

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 10 (coefficient 101, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 25, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Tirúa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Tirúa

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 5.1 ft · 7.8 s from the southwest (219°)
Swell 3.4 ft · 5.5 s from the southwest
Current 0.3 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.6 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest10 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph SSE · gusts 13
Offshore (6.4 mi N)Offshore 7 mph S · gusts 12

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:50 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:40 pm to 8:20 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 9:00 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current.

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.

  • 8:35–9:35 am Minor · moonset · 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.

From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Tirúa) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.6 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
