Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:49 am 2.6 ft · coef. 81
  • ▼ Low tide 5:41 pm 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:53 pm 1.3 ft · coef. 79

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 5 min to low tide at 3:23 am.

Tide coefficient 81 for the 10:49 am high tide and 79 for the 9:53 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 (2.7 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-0.6 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, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Arroyo Barril has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Santa Barbara de Samana (NOAA), 7.3 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Arroyo Barril

7-day waves

Waves 1.1 ft · 8.3 s from the east-northeast (62°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:50 pm to 6:10 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:48–4:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:51–9:51 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.

How far from shore

  • 33 ft deepnot within 490 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 490 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 490 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 490 ft. 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 490 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 490 ft out.
