- ▼ Low tide 11:44 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:56 pm 10.8 ft · coef. 91
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 17 min to high tide at 5:21 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 5:21 am high tide and 91 for the 5:56 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 11.6 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 (11.4 ft) and the lowest, on April 19 (-1.1 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, 11.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 36, 4.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Las Huacas has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Isla Cebaco (NOAA), 27 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 Balboa reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Las Huacas
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 1.8 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south-southwest (slight).

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:37–4:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:07–10:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
