Where this tide comes from
Pegarah has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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.
The sea at Pegarah
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.5 ft
- Significant5.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.2 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (moderate).

Surf in Pegarah today
Surf today
Fair- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.8 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:01 am)
- Light: First light 5:48 am · sunrise 6:17 am · sunset 7:58 pm · last light 8:27 pm
- Tide: high 2:42 am (3.4 ft), low 9:01 am (-1.3 ft), high 2:26 pm (1.8 ft) and low 8:28 pm (-3.4 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 58.5 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 311 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore 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 Pegarah today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (9:01 am): little current from 8:20 am to 9:40 am
- 4.7 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the north-northeast (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 2:42 am (2:27–3:00 am), low tide 9:01 am (8:20–9:40 am), high tide 2:26 pm (2:10–2:41 pm) and low tide 8:28 pm (8:00–8:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.8 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.5 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:27 pm. Waning gibbous (89%): a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 9:50 am, combines slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 2:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:23–4:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:55–4:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:22–8:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:32 pm–12:32 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
