  • Swimming Use care · 5.9 ft

    5.9 ft waves every 7 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 5:08 am 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:55 am 1.2 ft · coef. 90
  • ▼ Low tide 4:24 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 44 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

A · Official station

Tides from the Havana station (NOAA), 3.8 mi from San Miguel del Padrón. 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.

Sea and waves

Waves 4.5 ft · 6.6 s from the north-northwest (348°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.2 ft.

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.

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.

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
  • 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 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.
