About tides at A Coruña, Galicia

A Coruña sits on a long peninsula that juts into the Atlantic on the rugged north-western corner of Spain — the Galician Costa da Morte, the coast of death, named for centuries of shipwrecks along the cliff bases. The tide here runs the largest range on the Iberian Atlantic outside the Bay of Biscay, with mean range at the harbour close to 2.7 metres, semidiurnal, two highs and two lows about twelve and a half hours apart. Spring tides push near 4 metres at the equinoxes when astronomical forcing peaks; neaps drop close to 1.2 metres. The classic Galician feature is the rías — long, deep coastal inlets carved by drowned river valleys that run inland for tens of kilometres. The Ría de A Coruña is one of the smaller examples; the Rías Altas further east at Ferrol, Ortigueira, and Viveiro run for 20 to 30 km inland, and inside each ría the tide amplifies slightly toward the head while the timing lags the open coast by 30 to 60 minutes. Walkers on the long Riazor and Orzán beaches at the foot of the city see meaningful beach-width changes through the cycle; percebes harvesters working the cliff bases at Cabo Vilán and Cabo Fisterra time their excursions to the lowest spring lows; mussel-raft (bateas) operators in the Ría de Arousa further south coordinate the harvest week around the new and full moons. Open-Meteo Marine drives the gridded predictions on this site — useful for daily planning but not navigation-grade. Puertos del Estado runs the authoritative Spanish tide gauge network.
