Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 7:08 am -2.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 15 h 24 min to high tide at 11:49 pm.

Tide coefficient 112 for the 11:49 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.7 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 (3.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.3 ft).

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

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 115, 5.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 10 (coefficient 20, 2.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Balatero has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Balatero

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.9 ft · 3.9 s from the northeast (55°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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, 3:30 pm to 5:20 pm, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 6:40 am to 7:40 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.

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:15–9:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:49–8:49 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.65 mi.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Balatero) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.65 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 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).
