Tide coefficient 81 for the 12:20 pm high tide and 76 for the 11:28 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 April 16 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-0.9 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Playa Girón has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.4 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Playa Girón
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.2 ft with a period of 4 s, from the northeast (smooth).
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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:03 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:20 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Playa Girón
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:34–10:34 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:28–9:28 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 750 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 750 ft and 66 ft at 900 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
