Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:00 am to 3:00 am, combines the 3:03 am low tide, a major period and some swell. Also good from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with the 4:29 pm low tide, sunset and some swell. Also good from 9:10 am to 11:10 am, with the 10:10 am high tide, moonset and some swell.

Species with the most records nearby: yellowtail snapper, gray snapper, lane snapper and great barracuda. October is one of the months when these are seen most: mutton snapper. What you can catch

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.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:03 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:10 am 2.0 ft · coef. 88
  • ▼ Low tide 4:29 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 39 min to high tide at 9:29 pm.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:10 am high tide and 86 for the 9:29 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.1 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 (2.0 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-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 88, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 43, 1.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Suárez has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Luquillo (NOAA), 8.4 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.

Station data attribution: Slackwater database (https://github.com/openwatersio/slackwater-database)

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Suárez

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 3.9 ft · 9.6 s from the north-northeast (21°)
Swell 3.5 ft · 9.0 s from the north
Current 0.4 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.0 ft
  • Significant3.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph E · gusts 10
Offshore (8.3 mi NE)Offshore 9 mph SE · gusts 14

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:57–2:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:28–3:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:21–9:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:34–8:34 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water. It reaches 164 ft at 2.6 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Suárez) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
