The water rises and falls 9.3 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 July 14 (12.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (0.3 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bahía de los Ángeles

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.4 ft · 3.4 s from the east (84°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 2.3 s from the east
Current 1.5 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph WSW · gusts 5

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 3:20 pm, with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:25–8:25 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.
