Tide coefficient 79 for the 8:27 am high tide and 78 for the 8:56 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 11.5 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 August 15 (12.8 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (-0.8 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 9 to 11 (coefficient 88, 13.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 53, 8.2 ft).

The sea at Guayaquil
Sea state
The wave model doesn't reach Guayaquil: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:55–2:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:27–3:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:36–8:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:18–9:18 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.
