Tides in Pole Ojea
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:45 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:06 am 1.3 ft · coef. 90
- ▼ Low tide 5:05 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:04 pm 0.7 ft · coef. 89
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 12 min to high tide at 9:04 pm.
Tide coefficient 90 for the 10:06 am high tide and 89 for the 9:04 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.4 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 October 28 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.4 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 91, 1.4 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 37, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Pole Ojea has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Joyuda (NOAA), 9.7 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Pole Ojea
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.3 ft
- Significant2.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east-southeast (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.

Surf in Pole Ojea today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:06 am)
Rip current risk today: low · tomorrow: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.
Surf height from the NWS, today: 3.0 ft
- Light: First light 6:04 am · sunrise 6:26 am · sunset 5:58 pm · last light 6:21 pm
- Tide: low 2:45 am (-0.0 ft), high 10:06 am (1.3 ft), low 5:05 pm (0.5 ft) and high 9:04 pm (0.7 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 84.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:04 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.
Diving in Pole Ojea today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Some tidal current
- 2.2 ft swell at 6 s from the east: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:45 am (2:20–3:00 am), high tide 10:06 am (9:50–10:21 am), low tide 5:05 pm (4:30–6:00 pm) and high tide 9:04 pm (8:30–9:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.3 ft at 6 s) and rain (0.76 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:21 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:10 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:40 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 3:20 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at low 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 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
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
- 8:26–9:26 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
