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

Where this tide comes from
Vaiuru has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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 Vaiuru
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.1 ft
- Significant8.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest16 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 12 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (rough).
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 Vaiuru today
Surf today
Poor- 5.7–8.7 ft surf at the shore, big

- 7.6 ft swell at 11 s from the south-southwest, average
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 6:43 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.

- Tide: high 12:09 am (0.9 ft), low 6:32 am (-1.0 ft), high 12:50 pm (0.8 ft) and low 6:43 pm (-0.6 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size, though with big surf and onshore 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.
Diving in Vaiuru today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (12:50 pm): little current from 12:30 pm to 1:10 pm
- 7.7 ft swell at 11 s from the south-southwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 12:09 am (11:50 pm–12:30 am), low tide 6:32 am (6:10–6:50 am), high tide 12:50 pm (12:30–1:10 pm) and low tide 6:43 pm (6:20–7:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 10 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.6 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 9:23 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:10 am, with slack water at low tide, though with a big swell, moderate wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 6:29–7:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:53–9:53 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 1 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 1.1 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).
