Tides in Las Coloradas
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:52 am 0.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:35 am 1.2 ft
- ▼ Low tide 3:23 pm 0.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:59 pm 1.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 25 min to low tide at 4:55 am.
In Las Coloradas the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 25 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (0.0 ft).
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)

The sea at Las Coloradas
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 (+2.4 °F).

- Energy: 83 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, 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.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:41 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:28 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 8:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

The moon in Las Coloradas
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:29–2:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:02–9:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:58–7:58 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 410 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,300 ft from Las Coloradas) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep140 ft
- 33 ft deep410 ft
- 66 ft deep950 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 28 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 410 ft and 66 ft at 950 ft 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.
