Tides in Petani Beach
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 6:14 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 12:36 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:06 pm 0.6 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 19 min to high tide at 6:14 am.
In Petani Beach the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 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 October 27 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.2 ft).
Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

The sea at Petani Beach
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northwest (moderate).
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 71.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.8 °F).

- 3.1 ft swell at 5 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 6:34 am · sunrise 7:01 am · sunset 5:43 pm · last light 6:10 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 72.5 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 40 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and 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 Petani Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 2.5 ft swell at 4 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 6.3 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 72.5 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:10 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:07 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:20 am, with light wind, though with current.
In Petani Beach 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:27–11:27 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.
