Tides in Limón
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:51 am -0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:51 am 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:42 pm -0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:54 pm 0.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 30 min to high tide at 9:54 pm.
In Limón the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 15 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 23 (-0.7 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.2 mi from Limón. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

The sea at Limón
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Wednesday 28: 3.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Surf in Limón today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.1 ft swell at 6 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 5:15 am · sunrise 5:38 am · sunset 5:14 pm · last light 5:36 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 84.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 63 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:15 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 5:36 pm 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.

- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:36 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:32 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Limón the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Limón
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:19–2:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:50–2:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:38–8:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:02–8:02 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

- 33 ft deep0.65 mi
- 66 ft deep2.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- 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.
