Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 5.6 ft

    5.6 ft waves every 10 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. 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.

    Warm: very pleasant.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 14 · SPF 50

  • ▲ High tide 8:25 pm 3.3 ft · coef. 77

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 36 min to low tide at 1:59 am.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 7:01 am high tide and 77 for the 8:25 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.0 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 June 16 (4.0 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (0.1 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 10 (coefficient 103, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 27, 0.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Barranco has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Callao (TICON-4), 11 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.

Sea and waves

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.

On the coast 3 mph SE · gusts 9
Offshore (7.5 mi S)Offshore 13 mph SSE · gusts 20

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, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 5:15 am to 6:00 am also works, with a good size and glassy water.

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, 5:40 am to 8:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 12:50 pm to 1:40 pm, with 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.

  • 8:05–9:05 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.4 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Barranco) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.4 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).
