↑ Rising The tide is rising. 15 h 8 min to high tide at 10:36 pm.

Tide coefficient 111 for the 10:36 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.6 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 (2.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-2.0 ft).

Diurnal: one high and one low tide a day most days.

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 come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 114, 3.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 10 (coefficient 20, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Mangaldán has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 5.0 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

Waves 2.9 ft · 7.8 s from the north (356°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 6:20 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:40 am to 2:20 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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
  • 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:23–9:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:45–8:45 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.
