- ▲ High tide 8:57 am 4.2 ft · coef. 74
- ▼ Low tide 4:44 pm 1.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 41 min to high tide at 12:09 am.
Tide coefficient 74 for the 8:57 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.0 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 August 11 (4.8 ft) and the lowest, on January 31 (0.2 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 7 to 9 (coefficient 108, 2.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 31 (coefficient 20, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Jaluco has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Manzanillo (TICON-4), 28 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 5.8 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south (moderate).

Surf in Jaluco today
Surf today
Good- 3.0–4.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.3 ft swell at 11 s from the south, average
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:09 am)
- Light: First light 6:35 am · sunrise 6:58 am · sunset 6:27 pm · last light 6:50 pm
- Tide: low 2:49 am (2.7 ft), high 8:57 am (4.2 ft) and low 4:44 pm (1.2 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 85.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 256 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:50 pm, has a good size. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.
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 Jaluco today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (4:44 pm): little current from 4:20 pm to 5:10 pm
- 3.5 ft swell at 9 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 2:49 am (2:10–3:20 am), high tide 8:57 am (8:30–9:20 am), low tide 4:44 pm (4:20–5:10 pm) and high tide 12:09 am (11:20 pm–1:13 am)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.8 ft at 9 s) and rain (1.19 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:50 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:50 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, with slack water at high tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:06–10:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:14–9:14 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,200 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,200 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
