Tides in San Antonio
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:15 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:35 am 2.4 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 5:19 pm 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:00 pm 1.2 ft · coef. 87
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 16 min to high tide at 10:00 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:35 am high tide and 87 for the 10:00 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.5 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 November 26 (2.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.5 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 89, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 44, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
San Antonio has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Boca Del Cibuco (NOAA), 5.9 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 San Antonio
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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: 3.9 ft with a period of 11 s, from the north (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 (+1.7 °F).

Surf in San Antonio today
Surf today
Good- 3.1–4.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.8 ft swell at 10 s from the north, a bit short
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 5:19 pm)
Rip current risk tomorrow: high (statement in effect) (NWS)
Stay out of the water: rip currents can pull even strong swimmers out to sea. If one catches you, don't swim against it: swim parallel to the shore and wave for help.
Surf height from the NWS, tomorrow: 6.0 ft
- Light: First light 6:01 am · sunrise 6:23 am · sunset 5:54 pm · last light 6:17 pm
- Tide: low 3:15 am (-0.1 ft), high 10:35 am (2.4 ft), low 5:19 pm (0.6 ft) and high 10:00 pm (1.2 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 85.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 238 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 6:01 am to 10:00 am also works, with a good size and light offshore wind.
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 San Antonio today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (10:35 am): little current from 10:20 am to 10:50 am
- 3.8 ft swell at 10 s from the north: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (8 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:15 am (3:00–3:30 am), high tide 10:35 am (10:20–10:50 am), low tide 5:19 pm (4:50–6:00 pm) and high tide 10:00 pm (9:30–10:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.3 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.5 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:17 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:06 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some 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.

The moon in San Antonio
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:30–3:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:23–9:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:36–8:36 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. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi 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 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
