Where this tide comes from
Visakhapatnam has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Visakhapatnam (TICON-4), 5.4 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 9.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the south (rough).

Surf in Visakhapatnam today
Surf today
Fair- 4.4–6.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 6.5 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (10 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:46 am)
- Light: First light 5:32 am · sunrise 5:55 am · sunset 5:27 pm · last light 5:49 pm
- Tide: low 4:00 am (2.4 ft), high 9:46 am (6.2 ft), low 3:54 pm (1.9 ft) and high 10:26 pm (6.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 84.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 380 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:49 pm can also work, with a good size, 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, 3:00 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,531 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:08–3:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:40–3:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:33–9:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:46–8:46 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.
