Where this tide comes from
Cox’s Bāzār has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cox's Bazar (TICON-4), 11 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Cox’s Bāzār
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats 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: 3.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
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.

- Tide: low 7:08 am (2.8 ft), high 12:14 pm (9.6 ft) and low 7:08 pm (3.0 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 86.7 °F–87.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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, 11:50 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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 226,522 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:35–9:35 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:30–8:30 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
