Tide coefficient 90 for the 8:46 am high tide and 81 for the 10:32 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.6 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 December 24 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-3.6 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Las Arenitas has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.3 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 Las Arenitas
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 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-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.5 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south (rough).
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 84.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Las Arenitas today
Surf today
Good- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.7 ft swell at 9 s from the south, a bit short
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:46 am)
- Light: First light 5:51 am · sunrise 6:15 am · sunset 5:33 pm · last light 5:56 pm
- Tide: low 2:42 am (-0.8 ft), high 8:46 am (2.7 ft), low 3:57 pm (-2.9 ft) and high 10:32 pm (0.7 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: 184 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 12:00 pm to 1:00 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 Las Arenitas today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (8:46 am): little current from 8:30 am to 9:10 am
- 3.7 ft swell at 8 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the west-northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:42 am (2:20–3:00 am), high tide 8:46 am (8:30–9:10 am), low tide 3:57 pm (3:40–4:20 pm) and high tide 10:32 pm (10:00–11:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.7 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.35 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: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:56 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:43 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:10 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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- 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:31–9:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:13–8:13 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
Very shallowVery shallow and flat: even 2.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep. Right off the beach it already drops to about 14 ft.
From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Las Arenitas) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
- 33 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 2.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.1 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
