Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 1:59 am 1.2 ft

- ▼ Low tide 1:18 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:25 pm 3.3 ft · coef. 77
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 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
Breña has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Callao (TICON-4), 6.6 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.

The sea at Breña
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
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.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 7.2 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Breña today
Surf today
Very good- 3.3–5.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.7 ft swell at 10 s from the southwest, average
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:18 pm)
- Light: First light 5:15 am · sunrise 5:37 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:29 pm
- Tide: low 1:59 am (1.2 ft), high 7:01 am (2.1 ft), low 1:18 pm (0.3 ft) and high 8:25 pm (3.3 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 75.9 °F–76.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 267 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 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.
Diving in Breña today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (1:18 pm): little current from 1:00 pm to 1:40 pm
- 3.6 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 1:59 am (1:30–2:40 am), high tide 7:01 am (6:30–7:30 am), low tide 1:18 pm (1:00–1:40 pm) and high tide 8:25 pm (8:10–8:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.7 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.9–76.8 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (83%), rising at 10:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,775 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:06–9:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:33–10:33 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.
