Tides in Baja Mar
Today's high and low tides

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 20 min to low tide at 4:40 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 10:54 am high tide and 77 for the 10:02 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 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 October 28 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.3 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, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 35, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Puerto Cortés station (NOAA), 3.8 mi from Baja Mar. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Key West reference station with the official corrections.

Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Thursday 29: 1.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northeast (slight).

Surf in Baja Mar today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:54 am)
- Light: First light 5:25 am · sunrise 5:47 am · sunset 5:23 pm · last light 5:45 pm
- Tide: low 4:40 am (0.0 ft), high 10:54 am (0.5 ft), low 3:43 pm (0.3 ft) and high 10:02 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 84.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:25 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:45 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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 Baja Mar today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (10:54 am): little current from 9:30 am to 12:20 pm
- 1.4 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northeast: barely any surge
- Light onshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.9 mph current toward the east-northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 4:40 am (3:30–5:40 am), high tide 10:54 am (9:30 am–12:20 pm), low tide 3:43 pm (2:20–4:50 pm) and high tide 10:02 pm (8:40–11:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.44 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:45 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 8:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Baja Mar
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,805 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:54–9:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:16–9:16 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

How far from shore

- 33 ft deep1.8 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.3 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 1.8 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.
