Where this tide comes from
Sámara has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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 sea at Sámara
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Sunday 1: 4.8 ft with a period of 14 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:41 pm, has a good size, a clean swell and glassy water. 5:10 am to 9:00 am also works, with a good size, a clean swell and light offshore 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.

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.9 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.2–87.4 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:41 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:19–2:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:50–2:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:25–8:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:16–8:16 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
