Tides in Las Conchas
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:16 am 10.9 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 9:13 am 2.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:29 pm 18.0 ft · coef. 81
- ▼ Next low tide 11:03 pm -0.8 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 38 min to low tide at 11:03 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 4:16 am high tide and 81 for the 3:29 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 18.8 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 (19.5 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-2.6 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 10 (coefficient 104, 16.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 21, 10.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Puerto Penasco station (NOAA), 3.7 mi from Las Conchas. 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 Las Conchas
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 6.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south (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 78.5 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:22 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:15–3:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:47–3:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:17–8:17 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.

- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 750 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
