Tide coefficient 92 for the 4:47 am high tide and 87 for the 5:18 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 9.6 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 August 14 (12.2 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (0.7 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 101, 10.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 29, 3.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Puerto Real has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cádiz (TICON-4), 5.2 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Puerto Real

Waves 2.1 ft · 12.4 s from the west-northwest (282°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:10 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at high 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:51–4:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:12 am–12:12 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:35–9:35 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.
