Tides in Chiriquí Grande
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 3:16 pm 1.7 ft · coef. 113
- ▼ Low tide 11:31 pm -0.4 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 13 h 36 min to high tide at 3:16 pm.
Tide coefficient 113 for the 3:16 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.1 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 January 1 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 20 (-0.7 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 30 (coefficient 113, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 22 (coefficient 24, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Chiriquí Grande has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Boca Del Toro (NOAA), 29 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 Cristobal (Colon) reference station with the official corrections.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:14–10:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:08–10:08 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.
