↓ Falling The tide is falling. 28 min to low tide at 11:14 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 4:40 am high tide and 95 for the 5:13 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 16.6 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 (15.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-2.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Punta Garachine station (NOAA), 3.8 mi from Garachiné. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Balboa reference station with the official corrections.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.2 ft with a period of 14 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:51–8:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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.
