Where this tide comes from
Al ‘Arīsh has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.4 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 Al ‘Arīsh
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Friday 30: 3.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 76.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Al ‘Arīsh today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.3 ft swell at 5 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:48 pm)
- Light: First light 6:33 am · sunrise 6:58 am · sunset 5:59 pm · last light 6:24 pm
- Tide: high 12:06 am (0.6 ft), low 6:42 am (-0.6 ft), high 12:48 pm (0.3 ft), low 6:33 pm (-0.4 ft) and high 11:44 pm (0.5 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 77.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 9 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore 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, 11:40 am to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:20 pm to 6:00 pm, with light wind and weak current. Also good from 6:30 am to 8:00 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:06–11:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:06–9:06 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 0.85 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 3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
