Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Ntsaouéni has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 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 Ntsaouéni

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.6 ft · 6.0 s from the northeast (50°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 8.9 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.6 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph N · gusts 15

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

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

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, 5:40 am to 6:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:10 am to 12:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 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.

Solunar periods

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

  • 7:44–8:44 am Minor · moonset · 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 0 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 20 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0 ft
  • 33 ft deep0 ft
  • 66 ft deep10 ft
  • 164 ft deep20 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 1,217 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 0 ft and 66 ft at 10 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.
