↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 27 min to high tide at 2:45 am.
Tide coefficient 92 for the 2:45 am high tide and 86 for the 3:12 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.0 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 August 13 (8.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (0.5 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 103, 6.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 26, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Barlovento has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Santa Cruz de La Palma (UHSLC, TICON-4), 10 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 Barlovento
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.7 ft
- Significant5.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.4 ft with a period of 11 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Barlovento today
Surf today

- Falling tide (low tide at 8:57 am)
- Light: First light 6:57 am · sunrise 7:21 am · sunset 6:28 pm · last light 6:52 pm
- Tide: high 2:45 am (7.3 ft), low 8:57 am (1.2 ft), high 3:12 pm (6.8 ft) and low 9:12 pm (1.7 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 75.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 292 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 5:00 pm to 6:52 pm also works, with a good size and light offshore wind.
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.
Diving in Barlovento today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (3:12 pm): little current from 2:50 pm to 3:40 pm
- 3.8 ft swell at 9 s from the north-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the north-northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:45 am (2:20–3:10 am), low tide 8:57 am (8:30–9:20 am), high tide 3:12 pm (2:50–3:40 pm) and low tide 9:12 pm (8:50–9:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.9 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 75.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:52 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:19 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:10 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:20 am to 9:40 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:40–4:40 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:12–5:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:35–11:35 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:49–9:49 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 650 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.85 mi.
From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Barlovento) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep390 ft
- 33 ft deep650 ft
- 66 ft deep1,250 ft
- 164 ft deep0.85 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 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 650 ft and 66 ft at 1,250 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
