Where this tide comes from
Nuquí 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 Nuquí
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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.0 ft with a period of 15 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Nuquí today
Surf today
Good- 1.6–2.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.7 ft swell at 12 s from the southwest, clean
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 5:56 pm)
- Light: First light 5:34 am · sunrise 5:55 am · sunset 5:51 pm · last light 6:12 pm
- Tide: high 5:22 am (5.7 ft), low 11:40 am (-5.9 ft), high 5:56 pm (5.1 ft) and low 11:59 pm (-4.8 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 84.4 °F–85.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 76 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a clean swell and glassy water. 6:00 am to 10:00 am also works, with a clean swell and light offshore wind.
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 Nuquí today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (11:40 am): little current from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm
- 1.7 ft swell at 12 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the west-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:22 am (5:00–5:40 am), low tide 11:40 am (11:20 am–12:00 pm), high tide 5:56 pm (5:30–6:20 pm) and low tide 11:59 pm (11:40 pm–12:20 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 1.8 ft at 11 s) and rain (0.56 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.4–85.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:12 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 9:25 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:10 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with 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 Nuquí
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:46–9:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:55–9:55 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 20 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 100 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep10 ft
- 33 ft deep20 ft
- 66 ft deep40 ft
- 164 ft deep100 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 346 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 20 ft and 66 ft at 40 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.
