Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:27 am 3.3 ft · coef. 88

  • ▲ High tide 11:32 am 5.6 ft · coef. 83

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 32 min to low tide at 7:10 pm.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 12:27 am high tide and 83 for the 11:32 am high tide. Average coefficient. 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 December 24 (6.1 ft) and the lowest, on January 3 (-1.1 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 8 to 9 (coefficient 103, 4.8 ft range). The smallest, on October 17 (coefficient 22, 3.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Los Patos station (Highway Bridge, NOAA), 2.5 mi from Bolsa Chica State Beach. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Los Angeles (Outer Harbor) reference station with the official corrections.

Sea and waves

The sea at Bolsa Chica State Beach

Waves 2.3 ft · 12.5 s from the south-southwest (210°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph SW · gusts 9

Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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
  • 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:41–10:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:29–8:29 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,050 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
