Today, in Vega Baja: 2.5 ft between high and low tide (Boca Del Cibuco station). The smallest is in Guánica, with 1.2 ft. The range changes every day with the moon.
When are the next spring tides on Puerto Rico?
From October 26 to 28, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. At the Fajardo station the coefficient will reach 87.
How many tides a day are there on Puerto Rico?
The tide is mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights. Each high tide comes about 50 minutes later than the day before.
Why do some places on Puerto Rico have no tide times?
102 of the 437 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Boca Del Cibuco, is 35 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.
What time are sunrise and sunset today on Puerto Rico?
In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:24 am and sets at 5:55 pm: 11 h 31 min of daylight. In Playa Canalejo it rises 7 minutes earlier than in Domes Beach.
