Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:39 am 17.4 ft · coef. 95
- ▼ Low tide 11:03 am -0.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:12 pm 16.8 ft · coef. 95
- ▼ Next low tide 11:20 pm 0.4 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 55 min to low tide at 11:20 pm.
Tide coefficient 95 for the 4:39 am high tide and 95 for the 5:12 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 18.2 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 (17.4 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-1.8 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 come from October 27 to 29 (coefficient 95, 18.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 36, 6.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Rio Chepo station (NOAA), 2.2 mi from Chepillo. 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 sea at Chepillo
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 1.8 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Surf in Chepillo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.2 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:03 am)
- Light: First light 5:44 am · sunrise 6:05 am · sunset 5:55 pm · last light 6:17 pm
- Tide: high 4:39 am (17.4 ft), low 11:03 am (-0.8 ft), high 5:12 pm (16.8 ft) and low 11:20 pm (0.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 85.3 °F–86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 17 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has light offshore wind.
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, 10:20 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:24–3:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:56–8:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 7.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
