What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 24 (2.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-3.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Aticama has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Aticama
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.2 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
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.2 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Surf in Aticama today
Surf today
Good- 1.8–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest, average
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 3:47 pm)
- Light: First light 5:39 am · sunrise 6:02 am · sunset 5:27 pm · last light 5:50 pm
- Tide: low 2:30 am (-0.8 ft), high 8:37 am (2.5 ft), low 3:47 pm (-2.6 ft) and high 10:11 pm (0.6 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 87.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 67 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 2:00 pm to 5:50 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, 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 Aticama today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (3:47 pm): little current from 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm
- 2.4 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 2:30 am (2:10–2:50 am), high tide 8:37 am (8:20–9:00 am), low tide 3:47 pm (3:30–4:10 pm) and high tide 10:11 pm (9:40–10:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 1.9 ft at 14 s) and rain (2.08 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 87.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:50 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:40 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 4:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 9:10 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with heavy rain.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:41–2:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:13–3:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:13–9:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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 950 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 950 ft and 66 ft at 1,200 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
