↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 17 min to high tide at 5:07 am.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 4:18 am high tide and 96 for the 4:22 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.0 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 October 27 (2.6 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.1 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, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 27, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Elviria has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Málaga (TICON-4), 25 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 Elviria

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.

The best window, 7:12 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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, 3:20 pm to 5:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 8:50 am to 10:20 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:42–3:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:55–10:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:28–8:28 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (0.75 mi from Elviria) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep900 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
