Tides in Tarará
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
- ▲ Next high tide 11:05 pm 1.9 ft · coef. 87
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 24 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
Tarará has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Havana (NOAA), 8.2 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.

The sea at Tarará
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (moderate).
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 Tarará today
Surf today
Fair- 2.7–4.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.2 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:05 pm)
- Light: First light 7:09 am · sunrise 7:32 am · sunset 6:53 pm · last light 7:16 pm
- Tide: low 5:08 am (-0.0 ft), high 11:55 am (1.2 ft), low 4:24 pm (0.6 ft) and high 11:05 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 82.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 101 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 7:09 am to 10:00 am can also work, with 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.
Diving in Tarará today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (11:55 am): little current from 11:20 am to 12:40 pm
- 3.8 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 5:08 am (4:50–5:30 am), high tide 11:55 am (11:20 am–12:40 pm), low tide 4:24 pm (3:50–4:50 pm) and high tide 11:05 pm (10:30–11:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.6 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.21 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.8 °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 (91%), rising at 9:00 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, 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.

The moon in Tarará
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
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
- 9:41–10:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:30–9:30 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

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 ft 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 850 ft 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
