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

Where this tide comes from
Rancho Nuevo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Tuxpan (UNAM, TICON-4), 22 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.

The sea at Rancho Nuevo
Sea stateSea state: slight
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
Onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Tuesday 3: 2.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 82.6 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Rancho Nuevo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.9 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:15 am)
- Light: First light 6:07 am · sunrise 6:29 am · sunset 5:56 pm · last light 6:18 pm
- Tide: low 9:15 am (0.9 ft) and high 6:42 pm (3.4 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 81.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 22 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:07 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with 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.

- Slack water today: low tide 9:15 am (9:00–9:30 am) and high tide 6:42 pm (6:10–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:18 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:09 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 9:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:20 pm to 6:20 pm, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:39–3:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:38–9:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,250 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 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).
