Tides in Boca de Tomatlán
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:39 am 2.6 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 5:36 am 1.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:52 am 4.3 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 7:26 pm -0.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 12 min to high tide at 1:41 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:39 am high tide and 84 for the 11:52 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.7 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 December 24 (4.7 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.1 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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 104, 3.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 20, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Boca de Tomatlán has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Vallarta (NOAA), 8.4 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 Boca de Tomatlán
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.7 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
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.

- Light: First light 6:39 am · sunrise 7:02 am · sunset 6:28 pm · last light 6:51 pm
- Tide: high 12:39 am (2.6 ft), low 5:36 am (1.2 ft), high 11:52 am (4.3 ft) and low 7:26 pm (-0.3 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 86.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 55 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a clean swell and glassy water.
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.
Diving in Boca de Tomatlán today

- Water at 86.2 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:51 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:43 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:20 pm to 6:30 pm, with light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:00 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:12–10:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:13–9:13 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.

- 33 ft deep1.7 mi
- 66 ft deep1.7 mi
- 164 ft deep2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.6 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
