↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 42 min to low tide at 7:35 am.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 12:49 am high tide and 84 for the 1:18 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.8 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 26 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 100, 4.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 29, 2.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Algarrobo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Valparaíso (TICON-4), 23 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Algarrobo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 8.3 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F less 2 days ago 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 62.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Algarrobo today
Surf today
Good- 3.6–5.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.7 ft swell at 9 s from the west-southwest, a bit short
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:35 am)
- Light: First light 6:24 am · sunrise 6:50 am · sunset 8:12 pm · last light 8:38 pm
- Tide: high 12:49 am (4.6 ft), low 7:35 am (-0.2 ft), high 1:18 pm (2.6 ft) and low 6:57 pm (0.2 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 63.1 °F–64.2 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 360 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:24 am to 10:00 am, has a good size. 5:00 pm to 6:00 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.
Diving in Algarrobo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (6:57 pm): little current from 6:30 pm to 7:20 pm
- 4.1 ft swell at 8 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 12:49 am (12:30–1:10 am), low tide 7:35 am (7:10–8:00 am), high tide 1:18 pm (12:50–1:50 pm) and low tide 6:57 pm (6:30–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 63.1–64.2 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:38 pm. Waning gibbous (84%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:25–5:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:57–5:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:45–9:45 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

- 33 ft deep0.7 mi
- 66 ft deep0.75 mi
- 164 ft deep1 mi
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 0.7 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).
