Tides

Tides in Agalás

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 12:06 pm -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:58 pm 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:32 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 31 min to high tide at 5:24 am.

In Agalás the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 November 25 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (-0.3 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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.5 mi from Agalás. 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Agalás

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.7 ft · 6.4 s from the northwest (306°)
Swell 3.5 ft · 5.6 s from the northwest
Current 0.5 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.8 ft
  • Significant3.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph N · gusts 12
Offshore (14 mi S)Offshore 16 mph NNE · gusts 21

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.

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 72.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Agalás 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:23–11:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:37–8:37 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Agalás) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep850 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,000 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 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 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).
