Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:00 am 3.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:52 am 6.5 ft · coef. 82

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 42 min to low tide at 5:33 pm.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 9:52 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.1 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 (7.0 ft) and the lowest, on January 2 (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 8 to 9 (coefficient 106, 4.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 3.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

El Huitusi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Topolobampo (UHSLC, TICON-4), 18 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at El Huitusi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.3 ft · 9.8 s from the south (171°)
Swell 2.2 ft · 7.7 s from the south
Current 0.2 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 12 mph S · gusts 15
Offshore (18 mi S)Offshore 6 mph SSE · gusts 11

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:00 pm to 6:00 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:56–2:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:28–3:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:39–9:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:15–8:15 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.
