Tides in Puerto Barrios
Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 9:18 am 1.4 ft · coef. 91
- ▼ Low tide 1:29 pm 0.8 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 8:28 pm 2.3 ft · coef. 87
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 36 min to high tide at 8:28 pm.
Tide coefficient 91 for the 9:18 am high tide and 87 for the 8:28 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.4 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 October 28 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 25 to 27 (coefficient 95, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 34, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Puerto Barrios has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Rio Dulce Entrance (NOAA), 16 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 Key West reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Puerto Barrios
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-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 0.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the northeast (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 (+1.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:20 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 12:20 pm to 2:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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 Puerto Barrios
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:50–8:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:15–8:15 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.
