2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 27 (7.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Limbe has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Sonara (TICON-4), 14 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 Limbe
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.0 ft with a period of 7 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.

- 1.2 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest: barely any surge
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.48 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.1–86.0 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:28 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 8:23 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 12:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:43–2:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:36–8:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:53–8:53 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.
