Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Garchitorena has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 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 Garchitorena

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.4 ft · 7.2 s from the north-northeast (12°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.2 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph ENE · gusts 13
Offshore (9.1 mi NNE)Offshore 14 mph E · gusts 18

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:10 pm to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:00 am to 8:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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
  • 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:04–9:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:36–8:36 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.
