Tides in Concepción

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 1:53 am 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:20 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 2:21 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 3 min to high tide at 9:54 pm.

In Concepción the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 June 18 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on July 25 (-0.2 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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.7 mi from Concepción. 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Concepción

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.1 ft · 2.1 s from the east-northeast (74°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 1.7 s from the east-southeast
Current 1.0 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.0 ft
  • Significant0.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph E · gusts 13
Offshore (12 mi SSW)Offshore 6 mph ENE · gusts 12

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 0.5 ft with a period of 2 s, from the northeast (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now90.7 °F
Today 90.0–90.9 °F air: 76 / 88 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 84.9 °F measured 0.6 mi away

The satellite measured 5.8 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 (+5.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:20 pm, with little swell and light wind, though with current.

In Concepción the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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
  • 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:28–9:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:17–9:17 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 30 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1,250 ft from Concepción) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.6 mi): 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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.
