- ▲ High tide 6:15 pm 10.0 ft · coef. 89
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 39 min to high tide at 5:34 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 5:34 am high tide and 89 for the 6:15 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.7 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 February 3 (11.1 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, 11.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 33, 4.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Pampanal de Bolívar has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Rio Santiago (NOAA), 18 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 Pampanal de Bolívar
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-northwest (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.8 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
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 (+7.5 °F).

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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
