↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 5 min to high tide at 9:12 am.

Tide coefficient 74 for the 9:12 am high tide and 62 for the 11:56 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 December 24 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-3.4 ft).

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 8 to 10 (coefficient 107, 4.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 2.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Los Barriles has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.4 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 Los Barriles

Waves 3.6 ft · 7.6 s from the southeast (130°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.

Offshore (13 mi ENE)Offshore 11 mph NE · gusts 16

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 30 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 140 ft.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Los Barriles) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep10 ft
  • 33 ft deep30 ft
  • 66 ft deep60 ft
  • 164 ft deep140 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 215 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 30 ft and 66 ft at 60 ft from shore.

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.
