Very high
Very high exposure — unprotected skin burns quickly. Cover up, reapply sunscreen often and keep out of the midday sun.
- 1–2 · Low
- Little risk — most people need no sun protection.
- 3–7 · Moderate to high
- Wear a hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+, and take shade around midday.
- 8+ · Very high to extreme
- Use SPF 50+, cover up and stay out of the sun through the middle of the day.
The sea surface holds around 33.0° today, moving between 32.9° and 33.2°. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.

A larger coefficient means a wider gap between high and low water, so the strongest currents run along the sea bed. Tidal range also shifts with the weather — check the wind and swell before you head out.

Best fishing times today
Solunar theory rates today a slow day for fishing at Los Cerritos — plan around the major and minor periods below.
04:12 – 06:12
Moon overhead (lunar transit)
Overlaps sunrise or sunset11:52 – 12:52
Moonset
16:42 – 18:42
Moon underfoot (opposing transit)
Overlaps sunrise or sunset22:29 – 23:29
Moonrise
Major periods track the moon's transit and opposing transit and run about two hours; minor periods open at moonrise and moonset and last about an hour. When a period lands on sunrise or sunset, activity climbs higher still — and that overlap happens today.

Frequently asked questions
Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Los Cerritos, explained.
What time is high tide in Los Cerritos today?
High water at Los Cerritos today is at 00:20 and 11:00. The full list of high and low tide times is in the table above and refreshes every day.
Is today a good day to fish in Los Cerritos?
Based on solunar theory the fishing rating today is Slow. The strongest windows are the major periods around the lunar transit, which often line up with sunrise and sunset.
What is the tidal coefficient and why does it matter?
The coefficient runs from 0 to 120 and measures the tidal range — today it is 38 (Low). Higher numbers mean stronger currents and a bigger gap between high and low water, which matters for fishing, diving and boating.
When are sunrise and sunset in Los Cerritos today?
The sun rises at 05:56 and sets at 18:32 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight.
What is the water temperature in Los Cerritos today?
The sea surface at Los Cerritos is around 33.2°C right now. Water temperature sets the pace of fish metabolism, so the hourly strip above is worth a glance — even a small shift can change where fish hold and how actively they feed.
