Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 5:25 am 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:39 am 1.2 ft · coef. 91
  • ▼ Low tide 4:41 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 min to high tide at 10:49 pm.

Tide coefficient 91 for the 11:39 am high tide and 87 for the 10:49 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.0 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 October 28 (1.9 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.5 ft).

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

Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 1.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 36, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Bahía Honda has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Bahia Honda (NOAA), 5.7 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Key West reference station with the official corrections.

Station data attribution: Slackwater database (https://github.com/openwatersio/slackwater-database)

Sea and waves

The sea at Bahía Honda

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 3.9 ft · 6.4 s from the north (351°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.0 ft
  • Significant3.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest8.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNE · gusts 4
Offshore (8.8 mi NW)Offshore 3 mph SE · gusts 7

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 10:30 am, with light wind, though with tidal current, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:09–4:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:35–9:35 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.
