- ▲ High tide 10:17 am 8.3 ft · coef. 82
- ▼ Low tide 5:39 pm 1.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 52 min to high tide at 12:13 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 10:17 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.0 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 (8.9 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (0.1 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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 103, 5.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 21, 3.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Santa Anita has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ensenada (TICON-4), 22 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.

The sea at Santa Anita
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.6 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: 6.4 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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+10.3 °F).

Surf in Santa Anita today
Surf today
Good- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:17 am)
- Light: First light 6:36 am · sunrise 7:01 am · sunset 6:01 pm · last light 6:26 pm
- Tide: low 3:47 am (3.9 ft), high 10:17 am (8.3 ft) and low 5:39 pm (1.3 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 75.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 94 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:59 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, 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 Santa Anita
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:01–4:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:32–10:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:29–8:29 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 90 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.6 mi.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep50 ft
- 33 ft deep90 ft
- 66 ft deep800 ft
- 164 ft deep0.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 62 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 90 ft and 66 ft at 800 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
