↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 29 min to low tide at 7:29 am.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 12:44 am high tide and 84 for the 1:18 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (-2.4 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 11 (coefficient 99, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 28, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Papudo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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 Papudo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Monday 2: 7.3 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 64.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.8 °F).

- Tide: high 12:44 am (2.7 ft), low 7:29 am (-2.0 ft), high 1:18 pm (0.8 ft) and low 6:52 pm (-1.6 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 62.8 °F–64.2 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 296 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:24 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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 Papudo today

- Night dive: dark from 8:35 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 and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 8:20 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 1:50 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.

The moon in Papudo
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:24–5:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:56–5:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:47–9:47 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 40 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 210 ft.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep20 ft
- 33 ft deep40 ft
- 66 ft deep70 ft
- 164 ft deep210 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 188 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 40 ft and 66 ft at 70 ft 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.
