Today's high and low tides

- ▲ High tide 8:41 pm 4.8 ft · coef. 82
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 39 min to low tide at 2:29 pm.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 8:36 am high tide and 82 for the 8:41 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (5.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-1.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 29 (coefficient 86, 5.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 42, 2.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Suva Harbor station (NOAA), 0.2 mi from Suva. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Suva
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.7 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 78.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Surf in Suva today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.6 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (1 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:36 am)
- Light: First light 5:06 am · sunrise 5:29 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:34 pm
- Tide: low 2:20 am (-0.5 ft), high 8:36 am (4.1 ft), low 2:29 pm (0.3 ft) and high 8:41 pm (4.8 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 77.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:06 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm 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.
Diving in Suva today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (2:29 pm): little current from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

- Slack water today: low tide 2:20 am (2:00–2:40 am), high tide 8:36 am (8:10–9:00 am), low tide 2:29 pm (2:00–3:00 pm) and high tide 8:41 pm (8:20–9:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 77.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:34 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 9:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 9:40 am, with slack water at high 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.

The moon in Suva
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,450 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:32–3:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:05–8:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:00–10:00 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 10 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 60 ft.

- 164 ft deep60 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 474 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 10 ft and 66 ft at 20 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
