Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:40 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 111
- ▼ Next low tide 10:07 pm 0.6 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 7 min to low tide at 10:07 pm.
Tide coefficient 111 for the 1:40 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.3 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 23 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 31 (0.0 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 111, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 7 (coefficient 24, 0.6 ft).

The sea at San Andrés
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 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 southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in San Andrés today
Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (0.9 ft sets): flat

It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 5:57 am · sunrise 6:19 am · sunset 6:02 pm · last light 6:24 pm
- Tide: high 1:40 pm (1.9 ft) and low 10:07 pm (0.6 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 San Andrés today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (1:40 pm): little current from 1:25 pm to 1:55 pm
- 1.6 ft swell at 4 s from the north-northwest: barely any surge
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph)
- 1.5 mph current toward the west-southwest, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 1:40 pm (1:25–1:55 pm) and low tide 10:07 pm (9:50–10:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:24 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:24 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:14–9:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:54–8:54 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.

- 33 ft deep2.1 mi
- 66 ft deep2.3 mi
- 164 ft deep2.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 7.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.1 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).
