Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 am to 6:20 am, combines the 5:16 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm, with the 6:14 pm high tide, sunset and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 10:40 am to 12:30 pm, with the 11:37 am low tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Is it a beach day?

Poor beach day · 3 out of 10 9:00–11:00 am
  • Feels like 82 °F: beach weather
  • Onshore breeze (11 mph)
  • UV 8 (high): SPF 50 sunscreen
  • Water at 76 °F (warm)
  • Low tide at 11:37 am: more sand
  • Cloudy (99% cloud cover)

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Use care · 4.7 ft

    4.7 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 77 °F

    Warm: very pleasant.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 10 · SPF 50

    Max UV 10 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 11:00 am–3:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 15 mph

    Moderate onshore wind (15 mph).

  • Tide & sand 11:37 am

    Low tide at 11:37 am: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 5:16 am and 6:14 pm. Coefficient 100 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 9:00 am to 11:00 am, brings beach weather, little wind, water at 76 °F and low tide at 11:37 am, though with clouds and some waves.

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

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 44 min to low tide at 12:23 am.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 5:16 am high tide and 96 for the 6:14 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.4 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 (2.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.6 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Miramar has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.1 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

The sea at Miramar

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 5.0 ft · 9.9 s from the south-southwest (200°)
Swell 3.1 ft · 12.7 s from the southwest
Current 0.8 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.5 ft
  • Significant5.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest10.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph SSE · gusts 17

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:33 pm, has a good size and a clean swell, though with cross-shore wind. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with onshore 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, 10:50 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and 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.

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
  • 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:19–8:19 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 950 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Miramar) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep950 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
