Tide coefficient 94 for the 1:16 pm high tide and 89 for the 11:50 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.9 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 (4.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.6 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 10 to 12 (coefficient 105, 5.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 5 (coefficient 20, 4.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Panglao has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 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 Panglao
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 0.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east (smooth).

The best window, 5:13 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 11:50 am to 12:30 pm, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:20 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:54–8:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:46–8:46 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

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep2.1 mi
- 33 ft deep2.2 mi
- 66 ft deep2.4 mi
- 164 ft deep2.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.1 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 2.2 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
