📘 About Puerto Herradura Tide Forecast

With geographic coordinates of 9.65° N, 84.67° W, Puerto Herradura is a key coastal reference in Costa Rica. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 1.9m and spring tides reaching up to 2.4m. Shellfish gatherers and line fishers exploit these mid-range tides to access reefs and rocky outcrops exposed at low water. The regularity of semi-diurnal tides — two highs and two lows approximately 6 hours apart — simplifies crossing planning and fishing scheduling. This shoreline is subject to seasonal wind and pressure variations that can affect tide height by up to 0.3m during extreme events.
