Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 7.8 ft

    7.8 ft waves every 11 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 80 °F

    Warm: very pleasant.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 12 · SPF 50

    Max UV 12 (extreme): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–3:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 17 mph

    Moderate offshore wind (17 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand

    Fitii has almost no tide: the beach stays the same all day.

Tides

Tides in Fitii

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. 5 h 18 min to high tide at 12:03 am.

In Fitii 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)

Sea and waves

The sea at Fitii

7-day waves

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 7.4 ft · 10.3 s from the south-southeast (165°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common3.7 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest15 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 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 west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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.

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 Fitii the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (0.7 mi from Fitii) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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 0.85 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.
