Tides

Tides in Racó del Conill

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:25 am 0.9 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 7:01 am 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:59 pm 1.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:50 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 14 h 1 min to high tide at 1:56 pm.

In Racó del Conill the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 29 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (0.0 ft).

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)

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Racó del Conill

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.4 ft · 3.8 s from the east (91°)
Swell 1.4 ft · 3.1 s from the east
Current 0.2 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph NNW · gusts 9

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Racó del Conill the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:23–3:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:43–10:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:01–8:01 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 420 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep280 ft
  • 33 ft deep420 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 22 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 420 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
