What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 11 (5.1 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 101, 4.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 25, 1.3 ft).

The sea at Horta
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.6 ft
- Significant7.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 8.5 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
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 (+2.0 °F).

Surf in Horta today
Surf today
Good- 2.7–4.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 7.0 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:14 pm)
- Light: First light 6:51 am · sunrise 7:18 am · sunset 5:58 pm · last light 6:25 pm
- Tide: high 2:54 am (4.7 ft), low 9:03 am (1.1 ft), high 3:14 pm (4.4 ft) and low 9:20 pm (1.1 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 69.8 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 653 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind. 7:00 am to 8:00 am also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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 Horta today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (9:03 am): little current from 8:40 am to 9:30 am
- 6.8 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 2:54 am (2:30–3:10 am), low tide 9:03 am (8:40–9:30 am), high tide 3:14 pm (2:50–3:40 pm) and low tide 9:20 pm (8:50–9:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.2 ft at 8 s) and rain (1.11 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 69.8 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:25 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:10 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:25–4:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:57–4:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:54–11:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:01–9:01 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

- 66 ft deep0.5 mi
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,150 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 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
