Tides in Champerico
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:38 am 6.6 ft · coef. 92
- ▼ Low tide 10:06 am -0.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 4:04 pm 5.9 ft · coef. 93
- ▼ Low tide 10:19 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 13 min to high tide at 4:04 pm.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 3:38 am high tide and 93 for the 4:04 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.1 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 May 18 (6.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-0.7 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 come from October 27 to 29 (coefficient 93, 7.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 39, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Champerico station (NOAA), 1.4 mi from Champerico. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the La Union (Cutuco) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Champerico
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 3.8 ft with a period of 14 s, from the southwest (slight).
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 Champerico today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:06 am)
- Light: First light 5:40 am · sunrise 6:02 am · sunset 5:41 pm · last light 6:03 pm
- Tide: high 3:38 am (6.6 ft), low 10:06 am (-0.5 ft), high 4:04 pm (5.9 ft) and low 10:19 pm (-0.1 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 86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 76 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has 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.
Diving in Champerico today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (10:06 am): little current from 9:30 am to 10:30 am

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.2 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:03 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:02 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:20 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Champerico
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:45–2:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:17–3:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:01–9:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:32–8:32 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.

Water depth
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 160 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.65 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 20 ft.
From the shoreline (800 ft from Champerico) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep160 ft
- 33 ft deep0.65 mi
- 66 ft deep2.9 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 20 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
