Today's high and low tides

- ▲ Next high tide 10:13 pm 4.3 ft · coef. 79
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 48 min to high tide at 10:13 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 8:44 am high tide and 79 for the 10:13 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 (6.4 ft) and the lowest, on January 31 (0.3 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 24 to 26 (coefficient 107, 4.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 2.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Los Ayala has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Vallarta (TICON-4), 25 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 Los Ayala
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the 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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.1 °F).

Surf in Los Ayala today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 7 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle

- Falling tide (low tide at 3:48 pm)
- Light: First light 5:39 am · sunrise 6:02 am · sunset 5:28 pm · last light 5:50 pm
- Tide: low 2:29 am (3.0 ft), high 8:44 am (6.1 ft), low 3:48 pm (1.6 ft) and high 10:13 pm (4.3 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 87.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 29 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:50 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 am to 8:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:50 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:10 pm to 4:30 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 Los Ayala
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
- 7:12–8:12 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.

- 16 ft deep0.6 mi
- 33 ft deep0.7 mi
- 66 ft deep2.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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 0.7 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
