The best window, 5:40 am to 6:30 am, combines the 5:34 am low tide, sunrise and some swell, though with fresh wind. Also worth a try from 11:40 am to 2:40 pm, with the 12:36 pm high tide, a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind.

  • Wind 20 mph

    Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): blowing sand. Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 5:34 am

    Low tide at 5:34 am and 7:13 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 12:36 pm and 11:36 pm.

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 32 min to high tide at 11:36 pm.

Tide coefficient 70 for the 12:36 pm high tide and 62 for the 11:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 8.4 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on July 14 (6.4 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-6.0 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Masig Island has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Masig Island

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.6 ft · 3.6 s from the southeast (127°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 5.8 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.8 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 20 mph SE · gusts 26

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell and weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:26–3:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:58–3:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:50–8:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:07–10:07 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
