Tides in Tía Juana

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 2:22 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 8:21 am -0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 2:30 pm 0.4 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 2 min to low tide at 8:55 pm.

In Tía Juana the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 October 26 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on July 13 (-0.6 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 EOT20 station (DGFI-TUM), 1.0 mi from Tía Juana. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

The sea at Tía Juana

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.1 ft · 2.0 s from the north (360°)
Swell 0.1 ft · 1.6 s from the northwest
Current 0.6 mph toward the S

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 4 mph NNE · gusts 9

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water now90.3 °F
Today 89.6–90.5 °F air: 75 / 87 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 84.9 °F measured 0.8 mi away

The satellite measured 5.4 °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.

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.

In Tía Juana 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
  • 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:26–9:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:16–9:16 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Tía Juana) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 33 ft deep3 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 8.5 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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.
