Tides in El Negro
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:00 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:38 am 1.5 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 5:50 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 9:23 pm 0.6 ft · coef. 86
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 30 min to high tide at 9:23 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 10:38 am high tide and 86 for the 9:23 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.6 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 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on June 14 (-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 89, 1.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 42, 0.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
El Negro has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Mosquito Pier (NOAA), 23 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 El Negro
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the 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 El Negro today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.3 ft swell at 4 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:38 am)
Rip current risk tomorrow: low (NWS)
Rip currents can still form near jetties, piers and reefs: swim near a lifeguard.
Surf height from the NWS, tomorrow: 2.0 ft
- Light: First light 5:59 am · sunrise 6:21 am · sunset 5:53 pm · last light 6:15 pm
- Tide: low 3:00 am (-0.1 ft), high 10:38 am (1.5 ft), low 5:50 pm (0.5 ft) and high 9:23 pm (0.6 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 85.3 °F–86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 7:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 El Negro today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (10:38 am): little current from 10:20 am to 11:00 am
- 2.0 ft swell at 4 s from the southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.0 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 3:00 am (2:40–3:20 am), high tide 10:38 am (10:20–11:00 am), low tide 5:50 pm (5:10–6:40 pm) and high tide 9:23 pm (8:40–10:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.6 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.44 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.3–86.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:15 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:05 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. Also good from 4:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in El Negro
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
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
- 8:20–9:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:35–8:35 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 200 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.2 mi.

- 33 ft deep200 ft
- 66 ft deep1 mi
- 164 ft deep1.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 200 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
