High Tides In Laguna Shores Oceanfront Resort

High Tides In Laguna Shores Oceanfront Resort
Laguna Shores Oceanfront Resort experiences one of nature’s best phenomena; tidal fluctuation. Pretty much all year long we have two high and low tides per day. The distance between high and low tide is at its highest around the new moon and full moon.
Tidal fluctuations are caused by the sun and moon gravitational forces and the rotation of the earth. And the tidal range is a vertical measure of distance between the high and low tide in one cycle.
The final high tides for August will be on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 31st with an average high of about 18 feet. To put this in perspective, most the U.S. coast has a tidal range of 3-6 feet whereas ours can be 20+ feet. And it can look drastically different on the various beaches in Puerto Peñasco depending on beach slope and land formation (we are set back in a bay).
You can enjoy a variety of activities at high tide and since we are set back in a bay, you can walk in the water for quite a while even during high tide. The high tide is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, swimming, shell collecting, kite surfing and whatever else you can think of doing. You can also kayak though our pristine and protected estuary.
If you happen to find yourself here on a low tide week, do not fret because there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained and even more to explore when nearby islands are uncovered. And we always have land-based activities such as riding bicycles, beach volleyball and tetherball, taking a dip in our wonderful Trophy Pool, getting a massage, playing games and even clamming.
Here are the highest tide days for the remainder of 2016 so get to planning your ideal vacation!
- August 18, 19, 31.
- September 1, 2, 3, 16, 17, 29, 30.
