Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:24 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 15 min to high tide at 11:05 pm.

Tide coefficient 90 for the 11:55 am high tide and 87 for the 11:05 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

Almendares has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Havana (NOAA), 6.3 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.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.

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.

Today's activity: medium

  • 9:42–10:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:31–9:31 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Almendares) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 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).
