- ▼ Low tide 7:02 am -0.2 ft

- ▼ Low tide 7:12 pm 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 59 min to high tide at 1:28 am.
Tide coefficient 85 for the 12:30 am high tide and 83 for the 1:07 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 December 25 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.5 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 28 (coefficient 87, 2.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 16 to 17 (coefficient 40, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Easter Island station (Chile, NOAA), 2.1 mi from Hanga Roa. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Pago Pago Harbor reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Hanga Roa
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common6.0 ft
- Significant12 ft
- Highest expectedHighest24 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 24 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 24 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 Wednesday 28: 12 ft with a period of 13 s, from the southwest (rough).
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 Hanga Roa today
Surf today

- Big surf (12 ft): for experienced surfers
- 11 ft swell at 11 s from the southwest, average
- Moderate cross-shore wind (15 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:12 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:06 am · sunrise 7:30 am · sunset 8:33 pm · last light 8:58 pm
- Tide: high 12:30 am (2.7 ft), low 7:02 am (-0.2 ft), high 1:07 pm (2.2 ft) and low 7:12 pm (-0.0 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 69.8 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 2,847 kJ · Very high power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, though with big surf and cross-shore wind. 7:06 am to 8:00 am can also work, though with big surf and cross-shore wind. 8:00 pm to 8:58 pm can also work, though with big surf and cross-shore 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 Hanga Roa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 11 ft swell at 12 s from the southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (17 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:30 am (12:00–1:00 am), low tide 7:02 am (6:30–7:30 am), high tide 1:07 pm (12:30–1:40 pm) and low tide 7:12 pm (6:40–7:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 11 ft at 12 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 69.8 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 8:58 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 11:52 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:20 am, lines up with weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 2:10 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big 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.
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 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:58–4:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:30–5:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:41–9:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 11:22 pm–12:22 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 420 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.

- 164 ft deep0.35 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 25 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 420 ft and 66 ft at 800 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
