Tides in Machara
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 7:04 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:32 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:25 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 12 min to low tide at 7:04 am.
In Machara the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 December 23 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (-0.2 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.4 mi from Machara. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data 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).

The sea at Machara
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 67.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Surf in Machara today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 7:17 am · sunrise 7:46 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:41 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 68.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 22 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 Machara today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.3 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 4 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:41 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:20 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with little swell and light wind, though with current.
In Machara 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 Machara
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:06–5:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:20 am–12:20 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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. 33 ft of water just 700 ft 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 700 ft and 66 ft at 950 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).
