Tides in Idkū
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:26 am 1.4 ft
- ▼ Low tide 7:00 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 1:11 pm 1.2 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:47 pm 0.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 37 min to high tide at 1:11 pm.
In Idkū the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 28 (1.7 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.0 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The sea at Idkū
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 Thursday 29: 4.5 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-northwest (moderate).
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 Idkū today
Surf today
Poor- 2.9–4.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.7 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:47 am · sunrise 7:12 am · sunset 6:13 pm · last light 6:38 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 74.5 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 114 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 pm to 6:38 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind. 7:00 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.

- Water at 74.5 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:38 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:50 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 10:10 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
In Idkū the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:19–4:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:51–4:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:21–11:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:20–9:20 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
