Tides in Alamar
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:02 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 12:49 pm 1.1 ft · coef. 82

- ▲ High tide 11:57 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 77
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 49 min to high tide at 12:49 pm.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 12:49 pm high tide and 77 for the 11:57 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.9 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
Tides from the Havana station (NOAA), 3.5 mi from Alamar. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Key West reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Alamar
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northwest (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 Alamar today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.3 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (0 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:49 pm)
- Light: First light 7:10 am · sunrise 7:33 am · sunset 6:53 pm · last light 7:16 pm
- Tide: low 6:02 am (0.0 ft), high 12:49 pm (1.1 ft), low 5:05 pm (0.7 ft) and high 11:57 pm (1.9 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 82.9 °F–84.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 60 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 Alamar today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (12:49 pm): little current from 12:10 pm to 1:40 pm
- 3.1 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.1 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 6:02 am (5:40–6:30 am), high tide 12:49 pm (12:10–1:40 pm), low tide 5:05 pm (4:20–5:40 pm) and high tide 11:57 pm (11:20 pm–12:30 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.2 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.9–84.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:16 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 10:04 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 3:09–5:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:42–5:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:49–11:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:34–10:34 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
