2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (3.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.0 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

Where this tide comes from
San Ignacio has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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 San Ignacio
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 4.7 ft with a period of 14 s, from the northeast (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 San Ignacio today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.9 ft swell at 8 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:38 am)
- Light: First light 5:00 am · sunrise 5:21 am · sunset 5:14 pm · last light 5:36 pm
- Tide: low 1:14 am (-3.7 ft), high 7:38 am (2.0 ft), low 1:06 pm (-1.4 ft) and high 7:09 pm (3.0 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 86.2 °F–87.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 39 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 San Ignacio today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (1:06 pm): little current from 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm
- 1.8 ft swell at 8 s from the east-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 2.5 mph current toward the south-southwest, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 1:14 am (12:59–1:30 am), high tide 7:38 am (7:20–8:00 am), low tide 1:06 pm (12:40–1:30 pm) and high tide 7:09 pm (6:50–7:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.1 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.27 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.2–87.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:36 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:10 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:40 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:37–8:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:40–8:40 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,200 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,200 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
