Moderate earthquake of strength 4.6 – 78 km southeast of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, on Monday, October 6, 2025, at 09:53 (GMT -7)

A quake of the strength 4.6 occurred only 16 minutes ago near Ensenada (Ensenada Municipality, Baja California) in Mexico, as the United States Geological Survey reported. According to the institute, which is one of the most important international agencies for seismic activity worldwide, the quake on Monday, October 6, 2025, in the morning at 9:53 am local time occurred at a very low depth of 1 km below the epicenter. The strength, accurate location of the epicenter and depth of earthquake can be corrected in the next few hours, while seismologists manually evaluate the data and refine its calculations.
A second agency, Mexico’s national seismological service (SSN), indicated the earthquake differently with a strength of 4.1. Other sources for the same quake are the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) (strength 4.3) and the incorporated research institutions for seismology (IRIS) (strength 4.3).
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake of many people near the epicenter should have been felt. This should not have occurred in this magnitude, except possibly fallen objects, small cracks, etc.
The following places near the epicenter were probably affected by the quake: San Vicente (4,400 inhabitants at 16 km away, moderate vibrations), Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz (1,400 inhabitants at 40 km, light floor shaking), Camalu (8,600 inhabitation, 54 km away), light base), Benito Garcia Zorrillo) (6.600 inhabitation at 56 km away, light shake of the ground), Rodolfo Sanchez Tabada (23,000 in 64 km away, light shake), Vicente Guerrero (11.500 inhabitants at 67 km away, light floor shaking), Ensenada (279.800 in 78 km, very light vibration) and Lazaro (16.300 inhabitants 90 km away, very light vibration).
