Tides in Seitan Limania Beach
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 2:00 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 10:18 am -0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 35 min to low tide at 10:18 am.
In Seitan Limania Beach 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 July 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 11 (-0.1 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), 1.1 mi from Seitan Limania Beach. 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 Seitan Limania Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (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.

Surf in Seitan Limania Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.7 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 2.9 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:16 am · sunrise 6:42 am · sunset 5:31 pm · last light 5:58 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 71.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 41 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:16 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 2:00 pm to 5:58 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore 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 Seitan Limania Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 1.9 ft swell at 6 s from the west-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.1 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.20 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 71.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:01 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with waves and moderate wind.
In Seitan Limania Beach the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Seitan Limania Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:31–8:31 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 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).
