Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 2:06 pm 1.9 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 32 min to high tide at 8:17 pm.

Tide coefficient 84 for the 8:15 am high tide and 80 for the 8:17 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.9 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 24 (7.3 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (0.1 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 91, 5.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 36, 2.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Nadi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lautoka (UHSLC, TICON-4), 14 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Nadi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.8 ft · 9.5 s from the south-southwest (209°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 9.8 s from the south-southwest

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph WNW · gusts 18
Offshore (12 mi WNW)Offshore 10 mph SW · gusts 14

Onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:00 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:30 am to 9:30 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:04–3:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:10–8:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:04–10:04 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.
