Today and tomorrow will bring the highest and lowest tides of the year in the Canaries.
Locally named “Mareas del Pino” because they coincide with the feast day of the Virgin of the Pine, the autumn equinox often sees beaches completely flooded at high tide, while you’ll often see seafood and bait gatherers making the most of the way extraordinarily low tides expose areas of the seabed that are usually covered in water.
The high tide at Arrecife today will occur at 2.43 pm and the low tide at 8.54 pm.
Tomorrow’s high tides will be at 3.07 am and 3.21 pm, and low tides will be at 9.04 am and 9.30 pm.
The highest tides will occur in the afternoons and evenings, affected by the gravitational pull of the recently full moon.
