Tides in Omoa
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:49 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:51 am 1.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:20 pm 1.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:13 pm 1.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 7 h 3 min to low tide at 4:55 am.
In Omoa the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 8 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on January 28 (0.0 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The sea at Omoa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the north-northeast (smooth).
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 Omoa today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.6 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 5:26 am · sunrise 5:48 am · sunset 5:24 pm · last light 5:46 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 84.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 14 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:46 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:26 am to 9:00 am can also work, 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Omoa 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 Omoa
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:29–2:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:48–8:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:13–8:13 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.

- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.95 mi
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (0.95 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
