Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 5:27 am 14.9 ft · coef. 93

  • ▼ Low tide 11:56 pm 0.6 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 37 min to low tide at 11:38 am.

Tide coefficient 93 for the 5:27 am high tide and 91 for the 6:02 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 15.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 (15.1 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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 27 to 29 (coefficient 95, 16.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 36, 4.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Bahia Pina station (NOAA), 1.2 mi from Puerto Piña. 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.

The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has a good size, a clean swell and glassy water.

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, 10:50 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:00 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:54–9:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:55–9:55 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.6 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
