Where this tide comes from
Iztapa has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Quetzal (TICON-4), 5.3 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.

The sea at Iztapa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Sunday 1: 4.6 ft with a period of 15 s, from the southwest (moderate).
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 Iztapa today
Surf today
Good- 2.4–3.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.8 ft swell at 10 s from the south-southwest, average

- Falling tide (low tide at 10:13 pm)

- Tide: high 3:46 am (7.6 ft), low 10:12 am (0.6 ft), high 4:14 pm (6.5 ft) and low 10:13 pm (0.9 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 85.8 °F–86.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 138 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 5:58 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 6:00 am to 7:00 am can also work, with 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.

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.8 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.8–86.9 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:40–2:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:12–3:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:55–8:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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. 33 ft of water just 1,100 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 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).
