Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Ongoni has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Ongoni

Waves 2.6 ft · 5.7 s from the northeast (52°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NE · gusts 16
Offshore (12 mi N)Offshore 10 mph NE · gusts 14

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:09 am to 8:00 am can also work, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 am to 6:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:10 am to 12:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:38–8:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:06–10:06 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.

Water depth

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 10 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 50 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep10 ft
  • 33 ft deep10 ft
  • 66 ft deep20 ft
  • 164 ft deep50 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 783 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 10 ft and 66 ft at 20 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).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
