Tides in Ocós
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 4:25 am 6.6 ft · coef. 93
- ▼ Low tide 10:51 am -0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:52 pm 5.9 ft · coef. 91
- ▼ Low tide 11:06 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 24 min to high tide at 4:25 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 4:25 am high tide and 91 for the 4:52 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 came 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
Ocós has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Champerico (NOAA), 23 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 Union (Cutuco) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Ocós
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Monday 2: 5.1 ft with a period of 13 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.

- Water at 86.5 °F–87.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 350 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, a clean swell and glassy water. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm also works, with a good size, a clean swell and glassy water.
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 Ocós today

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.3 ft at 13 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.5–87.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:03 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 9:07 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 5:40 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 226,805 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:09–10:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:37–9:37 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.

- 66 ft deep1.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 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).
