Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 8:42 am -0.4 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 36 min to high tide at 6:24 pm.

Tide coefficient 119 for the 6:24 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 October 28 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.2 ft).

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

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 come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 120, 2.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 22 (coefficient 20, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Pénjamo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Frontera (NOAA), 30 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Madero reference station with the official corrections.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Pénjamo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.8 ft · 5.7 s from the north (11°)
Swell 1.5 ft · 5.3 s from the north
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph N · gusts 16
Offshore (7.6 mi NE)Offshore 13 mph NNE · gusts 17

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 4:40 pm to 6:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 8:20 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with 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
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:15–9:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:27–8:27 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 150 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Pénjamo) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep70 ft
  • 33 ft deep150 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 41 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 150 ft and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
