The best window, 5:40 pm to 6:30 pm, combines the 5:57 pm high tide, sunset and some swell. Also worth a try from 5:10 am to 6:00 am, with the 5:34 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with moderate wind.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Chindini has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.9 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 Chindini

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.1 ft · 7.2 s from the southeast (138°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 6.2 s from the south-southeast
Current 2.1 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft
  • Significant2.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 15 mph NE · gusts 20

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, 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, 11:20 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, 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.

  • 1:23–3:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:42–8:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:10–10:10 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 60 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 700 ft.

From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Chindini) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep30 ft
  • 33 ft deep60 ft
  • 66 ft deep110 ft
  • 164 ft deep700 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 118 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 60 ft and 66 ft at 110 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.
