↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 42 min to high tide at 11:10 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 11:10 am high tide and 83 for the 11:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.6 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 May 17 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-1.4 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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 88, 2.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 45, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Río San Juan has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.7 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 Río San Juan
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.1 ft with a period of 10 s, from the north-northeast (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

Surf in Río San Juan today
Surf today
Good- 2.7–4.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.3 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast, a bit short
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 11:10 am)
- Light: First light 6:18 am · sunrise 6:40 am · sunset 6:08 pm · last light 6:30 pm
- Tide: low 4:06 am (-1.2 ft), high 11:10 am (1.4 ft), low 5:51 pm (-0.7 ft) and high 11:03 pm (0.3 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 85.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 138 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:18 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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 Río San Juan today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (11:10 am): little current from 10:50 am to 11:30 am
- 3.1 ft swell at 8 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:06 am (3:40–4:30 am), high tide 11:10 am (10:50–11:30 am), low tide 5:51 pm (5:20–6:20 pm) and high tide 11:03 pm (10:30–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.6 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- 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, 10:20 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,746 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:18–4:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:51–4:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:49–10:49 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.
