Tides in Fare
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 5:48 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:25 pm 0.6 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:43 pm 0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 2 min to high tide at 12:03 am.
In Fare the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on September 22 (0.1 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 Fare
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.6 ft
- Significant7.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 9.3 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south (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 Fare today
Surf today
Good- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 6.8 ft swell at 11 s from the south, average; it hits this coast at an angle
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 5:06 am · sunrise 5:28 am · sunset 6:08 pm · last light 6:30 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 79.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 928 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:06 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore 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 Fare today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- 6.1 ft swell at 11 s from the south: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
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: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.9 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 79.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:30 pm. Waning gibbous (90%), rising at 9:19 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:30 pm to 6:10 pm, lines up with weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, with the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current.
In Fare 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 Fare
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,436 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:24–3:24 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:01–8:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:49–9:49 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.

- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep0.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.35 mi 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.
