Tides in Puerto Princesa
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 7:03 am -0.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:22 pm 1.6 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 3:52 pm 1.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:41 pm 5.8 ft · coef. 83
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 13 min to low tide at 7:03 am.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 1:22 pm high tide and 83 for the 11:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 6.6 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 (6.2 ft) and the lowest, on January 4 (-1.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 10 to 11 (coefficient 102, 4.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 20, 3.6 ft).

The sea at Puerto Princesa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

Surf in Puerto Princesa today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.3 ft swell at 3 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:22 pm)
- Light: First light 5:33 am · sunrise 5:55 am · sunset 5:43 pm · last light 6:04 pm
- Tide: low 7:03 am (-0.8 ft), high 1:22 pm (1.6 ft), low 3:52 pm (1.5 ft) and high 11:41 pm (5.8 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 86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 4 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:16–9:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:07–9:07 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.
