Tides in Santo Domingo Este
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 1:54 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:03 pm 1.2 ft · coef. 114
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 9 h 54 min to low tide at 2:49 am.
Tide coefficient 114 for the 3:03 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 27 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 1 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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 come on October 29 (coefficient 117, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 8 (coefficient 23, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Santo Domingo station (NOAA), 3.4 mi from Santo Domingo Este. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Galveston reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Santo Domingo Este
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 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: 2.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southeast (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 Santo Domingo Este today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.5 ft swell at 5 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:03 pm)
- Light: First light 6:15 am · sunrise 6:38 am · sunset 6:09 pm · last light 6:31 pm
- Tide: low 1:54 am (-0.1 ft) and high 3:03 pm (1.2 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 84.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:15 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, 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.

- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 1:54 am (1:39–3:00 am) and high tide 3:03 pm (1:40–3:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.9 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.65 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:20 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, 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.
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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:13–3:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:45–3:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:38–9:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 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).
