Tides in Las Lomas
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 1:32 am 3.9 ft · coef. 88
- ▼ Low tide 6:05 am 2.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:19 pm 6.6 ft · coef. 85
- ▼ Next low tide 7:36 pm -1.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 42 min to low tide at 7:36 pm.
Tide coefficient 88 for the 1:32 am high tide and 85 for the 12:19 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 7.6 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 December 24 (7.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-1.8 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 10 (coefficient 94, 5.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 33, 4.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Elkhorn Slough Railroad Bridge station (NOAA), 1.3 mi from Las Lomas. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Las Lomas
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.4 ft with a period of 15 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+8.7 °F).

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.1 ft at 6 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 65.5 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:40 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 8:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:20 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Las Lomas
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:08–11:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:33–8:33 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.
