Tides in Santa Rosa
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 12:08 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 6:28 am 9.2 ft · coef. 92
- ▼ Low tide 12:29 pm -0.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:09 pm 9.2 ft · coef. 89
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 57 min to high tide at 6:28 am.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 6:28 am high tide and 89 for the 7:09 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.0 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 February 3 (10.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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 27 to 28 (coefficient 96, 10.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 33, 4.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Santa Rosa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Bolivar (NOAA), 14 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 La Libertad reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Santa Rosa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 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 Saturday 31: 0.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+14.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:50 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:00 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with 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.

The moon in Santa Rosa
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:37–9:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:26–10:26 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.
