  • Onshore breeze (6 mph)
  • Water at 76 °F (warm)
  • Low tide at 11:46 am: more sand
  • Swim with care: 4.8 ft waves every 10 s; high rip current risk

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Use care · 4.8 ft

    4.8 ft waves every 10 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 76 °F

    Warm: very pleasant.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 10 · SPF 50

    Max UV 10 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–2:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 14 mph

    Moderate onshore wind (14 mph).

  • Tide & sand 11:46 am

    Low tide at 11:46 am: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 5:25 am and 6:29 pm. Coefficient 99 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, brings beach weather, little wind, water at 76 °F and low tide at 11:46 am, though with some waves and very high UV.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 42 min to high tide at 6:29 pm.

Tide coefficient 99 for the 5:25 am high tide and 95 for the 6:29 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.0 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 December 25 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.4 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Coishco has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.

On the coast 11 mph S · gusts 23
Offshore (9.3 mi W)Offshore 17 mph SSE · gusts 23

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:32 pm, has a good size and a clean swell, though with onshore wind. 9:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.

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, 11:10 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:20 am to 6:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:16–8:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:28–9:28 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 0.55 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Coishco) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.55 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 0.75 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).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
