What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-2.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Huarmey 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.
The sea at Huarmey
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.9 ft
- Significant5.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 6.5 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Surf in Huarmey today
Surf today
Good- 3.1–4.9 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.5 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average

- Falling tide (low tide at 12:39 pm)
- Light: First light 5:21 am · sunrise 5:43 am · sunset 6:10 pm · last light 6:31 pm
- Tide: low 1:03 am (-0.7 ft), high 6:20 am (0.7 ft), low 12:39 pm (-1.7 ft) and high 7:41 pm (1.6 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 75.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 223 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with cross-shore wind. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with cross-shore 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.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 10:04 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:40 am to 7:20 am, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 1:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:52–3:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:24–4:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:15–9:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:34–10:34 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

- 164 ft deep1.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 35 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 260 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 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).
