Where this tide comes from
Bandariba has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Willemstad (TICON-4), 7.5 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Bandariba
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 3.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Bandariba today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.2 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 4 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:27 pm)
- Light: First light 6:05 am · sunrise 6:27 am · sunset 6:11 pm · last light 6:33 pm
- Tide: high 2:27 pm (1.8 ft) and low 11:44 pm (0.4 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 84.4 °F–85.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 7 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:05 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell and onshore 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:40 pm to 3:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Bandariba
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:19–9:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:01–9:01 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1,150 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1,150 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 380 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1,150 ft out.
