- ▼ Low tide 5:52 pm -0.6 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 29 min to high tide at 12:19 am.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 24 (7.0 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.9 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

Where this tide comes from
La Esperanza [Granjas Familiares] has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Imperial Beach (NOAA), 8.2 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 San Diego (Broadway) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at La Esperanza [Granjas Familiares]
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

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.
