Tides in El Cubolero
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:58 am 10.7 ft · coef. 92
- ▼ Low tide 10:03 am -0.8 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 4:24 pm 9.6 ft · coef. 93
- ▼ Low tide 10:16 pm -0.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 29 min to high tide at 4:24 pm.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 3:58 am high tide and 93 for the 4:24 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 11.5 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 May 18 (11.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-1.2 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, 11.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 39, 4.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
El Cubolero has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Amapala (NOAA), 12 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 El Cubolero
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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: 0.9 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 88.4 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, 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 El Cubolero
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:28–2:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:59–2:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:41–8:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:16–8:16 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.
