Where this tide comes from
Loccota has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.5 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.
The sea at Loccota
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 6.2 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Loccota today
Surf today
Poor- 3.1–4.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 2.8 ft swell at 7 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- 3.7 ft wind swell at 5 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (18 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:34 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 6:01 am · sunset 7:43 pm · last light 8:12 pm
- Tide: high 2:16 am (3.7 ft), low 8:34 am (-2.8 ft), high 2:05 pm (3.7 ft) and low 8:56 pm (-5.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 59.4 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 119 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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.
Diving in Loccota today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (8:34 am): little current from 8:10 am to 9:00 am
- 4.3 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Fresh onshore wind (18 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 2:16 am (1:50–2:50 am), low tide 8:34 am (8:10–9:00 am), high tide 2:05 pm (1:40–2:30 pm) and low tide 8:56 pm (8:40–9:11 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 59.4 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:12 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 11:47 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:30 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with waves and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:30 am, though with tidal current, waves, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, with the sun high, though with tidal current, waves, fresh wind and current.
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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:07–4:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:39–4:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:05–8:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:17 pm–12:17 am 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 750 ft 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. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
