2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.4 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Luba 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 Luba
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 Wednesday 28: 2.0 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southwest (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 Luba today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:43 am)
- Light: First light 5:48 am · sunrise 6:09 am · sunset 6:10 pm · last light 6:31 pm
- Tide: high 5:26 am (2.9 ft), low 11:43 am (-3.1 ft), high 6:09 pm (2.2 ft) and low 11:53 pm (-2.3 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 84.6 °F–85.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 31 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves. 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves. 5:00 pm to 6:31 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves.
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.
Diving in Luba today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (6:09 pm): little current from 5:50 pm to 6:30 pm
- 1.3 ft swell at 9 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.3 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: high tide 5:26 am (5:00–5:50 am), low tide 11:43 am (11:28 am–12:00 pm), high tide 6:09 pm (5:50–6:30 pm) and low tide 11:53 pm (11:30 pm–12:10 am)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 1.8 ft at 9 s) and rain (1.29 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.6–85.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 8:27 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:20 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also good from 10:40 am to 11:30 am, with slack water at low tide, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:46–2:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:17–3:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:38–8:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:57–8:57 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 1,300 ft 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 1,300 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 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).
