Tides in San Agustinillo
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:44 am 3.8 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Low tide 10:16 am -0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:07 pm 2.4 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Next low tide 10:00 pm -0.4 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 12 min to low tide at 10:00 pm.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 3:44 am high tide and 88 for the 4:07 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.2 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 June 16 (4.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 28 (-0.9 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 come from October 28 to 31 (coefficient 90, 4.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 21 (coefficient 44, 1.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Puerto Ángel station (NOAA), 3.1 mi from San Agustinillo. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Salina Cruz reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at San Agustinillo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Sunday 1: 5.3 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 84.4 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm also works, with a good size and a clean 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, 2:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 11:10 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and 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 San Agustinillo
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:23–9:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:48–8:48 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.5 mi.

- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 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).
