  • ▲ High tide 3:57 pm 7.9 ft · coef. 68

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 8 min to low tide at 10:35 pm.

Tide coefficient 70 for the 3:53 am high tide and 68 for the 3:57 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 14.7 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 June 14 (9.4 ft) and the lowest, on June 13 (-8.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 7 to 10 (coefficient 86, 15.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 16 to 17 (coefficient 44, 10.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Guerrero Negro has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 5.1 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Guerrero Negro

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.6 ft · 4.3 s from the northwest (321°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 8.4 s from the northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph NNW · gusts 15
Offshore (12 mi WNW)Offshore 17 mph NNW · gusts 23

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+10.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:50 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:18–3:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:30–8:30 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.
