Tides in La Barra
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 4:33 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:16 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:23 pm -0.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:53 pm 0.4 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 43 min to low tide at 4:33 am.
In La Barra the astronomical tide is very small: about 1.6 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on May 18 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 20 (-0.8 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.6 mi from La Barra. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

The sea at La Barra
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Friday 30: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 58.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in La Barra today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 5:14 am · sunrise 5:40 am · sunset 7:06 pm · last light 7:33 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.

- Energy: 17 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:14 am to 8:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:40 am to 8:20 am, with little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:20 pm to 7:10 pm, with little swell and light wind, though with current.
In La Barra the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:14–4:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:30–8:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:04 pm–12:04 am 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 320 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.5 mi from La Barra) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep110 ft
- 33 ft deep320 ft
- 66 ft deep1.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 33 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. 33 ft deep 320 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
