Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Dzahadjou has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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.

The best window is 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm 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, 5:40 am to 6:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 5:00 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 11:00 am to 1:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:43–8:43 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 30 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 170 ft.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Dzahadjou) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep20 ft
  • 33 ft deep30 ft
  • 66 ft deep70 ft
  • 164 ft deep170 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 243 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 30 ft and 66 ft at 70 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.
