Tides in Levuka
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:08 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:50 am 4.5 ft · coef. 84
- ▼ Low tide 2:17 pm 1.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 8:55 pm 5.2 ft · coef. 82
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 51 min to high tide at 8:55 pm.
Tide coefficient 84 for the 8:50 am high tide and 82 for the 8:55 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.9 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 (5.6 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.3 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, 4.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 42, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Levuka has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ngau Island (NOAA), 8.0 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. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Suva Harbor reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Levuka
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 Monday 2: 5.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southeast (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 Levuka today
Surf today
Fair- 1.6–2.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.7 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 2:17 pm)
- Light: First light 5:03 am · sunrise 5:25 am · sunset 6:08 pm · last light 6:31 pm
- Tide: low 2:08 am (0.3 ft), high 8:50 am (4.5 ft), low 2:17 pm (1.1 ft) and high 8:55 pm (5.2 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: 39 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, has light offshore wind. 6:00 am to 10:00 am also works.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 9:26 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:10 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:50 am to 10:00 am, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,450 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:56–2:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:28–3:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:01–8:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:56–9:56 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.7 mi out for 33 ft of water. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.
From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Levuka) out to sea, heading south.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1.7 mi
- 33 ft deep1.7 mi
- 66 ft deep1.8 mi
- 164 ft deep1.9 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.7 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 1.7 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
