Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:19 am 3.9 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:55 am 5.7 ft · coef. 78

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 29 min to low tide at 5:17 pm.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 8:55 am 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 July 13 (6.4 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 24 to 25 (coefficient 103, 4.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 2 (coefficient 20, 2.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Moroncárit has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Yavaros (TICON-4), 6.7 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:20 am to 9:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 5:40 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
  • 12:59–2:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:31–3:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:46–9:46 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 1.3 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Moroncárit) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.3 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.3 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) 1.3 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.
