The best window, 10:40 am to 11:20 am, combines the 11:38 am low tide, moonset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 4:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with the 5:52 pm high tide and sunset, though with rising pressure. Also good from 4:00 am to 5:30 am, with the 4:58 am high tide and some swell.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Pórto Koufó has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Pórto Koufó

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 3.1 ft · 5.1 s from the east-northeast (73°)
Swell 3.0 ft · 4.5 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.6 ft
  • Significant3.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNW · gusts 7

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 12:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:18–4:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:19–11:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:15–8:15 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 750 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep750 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.85 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 750 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 0.85 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

There is little open water ahead: in a cove or small bay, cells of about 380 ft cannot show the bottom well near the rocks. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.85 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
