Tides in Topolobampo
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:06 am 2.9 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 5:02 am 1.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:19 am 4.7 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Next low tide 6:52 pm -0.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 1 min to low tide at 6:52 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:06 am high tide and 83 for the 11:19 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.2 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 December 24 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.5 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 came from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 104, 4.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 20, 2.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Topolobampo station (NOAA), 0.0 mi from Topolobampo. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the San Diego (Broadway) reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Topolobampo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.8 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
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 83.9 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:20 am to 7:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:57–2:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:29–3:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:40–9:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:16–8:16 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.
