Tides in Tiarei
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:38 am 0.8 ft
- ▼ Low tide 7:09 am 0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:20 pm 0.8 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 7:04 pm 0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 26 min to low tide at 7:04 pm.
In Tiarei the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 19 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on September 11 (0.0 ft).
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)

The sea at Tiarei
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east (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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Surf in Tiarei today
Surf today
Poor- 2.7–4.1 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.2 ft swell at 6 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (6 mph): a bit of chop
- Light: First light 4:58 am · sunrise 5:20 am · sunset 6:02 pm · last light 6:24 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 78.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 100 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell 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 Tiarei today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 4.4 ft swell at 6 s from the east: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (9 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.5 ft at 6 s) and rain (0.21 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 78.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:24 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 9:14 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 8:30 am, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
In Tiarei the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Tiarei
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:45–2:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:17–3:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:52–7:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:44–9:44 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 30 ft.

- 66 ft deep10 ft
- 164 ft deep30 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 1,009 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 10 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
