Today's high and low tides

- ▼ Low tide 5:51 pm 1.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:07 pm 2.2 ft · coef. 79
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 31 min to low tide at 3:33 am.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 11:03 am high tide and 79 for the 10:07 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 (4.4 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.1 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 86, 4.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 44, 2.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
La Entrada has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sanchez (NOAA), 31 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 San Juan reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at La Entrada
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.3 ft with a period of 10 s, from the northeast (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 La Entrada today
Surf today
Fair- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.7 ft swell at 9 s from the north-northeast, a bit short
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:03 am)
- Light: First light 6:17 am · sunrise 6:39 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:30 pm
- Tide: low 3:33 am (-0.2 ft), high 11:03 am (4.3 ft), low 5:51 pm (1.4 ft) and high 10:07 pm (2.2 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 85.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 102 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:17 am to 7:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 8:00 am to 10:00 am also works, with a good size.
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 La Entrada today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (5:51 pm): little current from 5:36 pm to 6:10 pm
- 2.4 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:33 am (3:18–3:48 am), high tide 11:03 am (10:48–11:18 am), low tide 5:51 pm (5:36–6:10 pm) and high tide 10:07 pm (9:50–10:22 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 4.8 ft at 10 s) and rain (0.45 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water.
- Water at 85.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:30 pm. Waning gibbous (84%), rising at 9:22 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 11:20 am, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:50–4:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:52–9:52 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
