Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 9:50 pm 3.7 ft · coef. 111

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 10 h 43 min to low tide at 10:48 am.

Tide coefficient 111 for the 9:50 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.9 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 November 26 (3.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (0.0 ft).

Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

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 come from October 28 to 29 (coefficient 111, 2.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 22 (coefficient 26, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Dzilam de Bravo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Telchac Yuk (TICON-4), 27 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Dzilam de Bravo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.6 ft · 4.9 s from the north-northeast (14°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 4.2 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.1 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph N · gusts 5
Offshore (10 mi NW)Offshore 11 mph NNE · gusts 15

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.

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north (slight).

Water temperature

Water now83.8 °F
Today 83.7–83.8 °F air: 74 / 84 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 80.8 °F measured 0.6 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, 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, 9:30 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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
  • 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:12–10:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:07–9:07 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: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 24 ft deep.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 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 1.6 mi): 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 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).
