↓ Falling The tide is falling. 22 min to low tide at 11:12 pm.
Tide coefficient 100 for the 4:43 am high tide and 98 for the 5:08 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.7 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 December 26 (12.6 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (0.6 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 102, 10.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 28, 3.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Rianxo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vigo (TICON-4), 29 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 Rianxo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.7 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west (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.

Diving in Rianxo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (5:08 pm): little current from 4:50 pm to 5:30 pm
- 3.1 ft swell at 10 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.9 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.3 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.

- Night dive: dark from 7:03 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:10 pm to 5:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 11:40 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, 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 Rianxo
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:35–11:35 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:21–8:21 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
Very shallowVery shallow and flat: even 1.3 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.
From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Rianxo) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
- 33 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 7.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.3 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.3 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
