Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Agatti has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Agatti

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.7 ft · 9.4 s from the south-southeast (168°)
Swell 1.8 ft · 9.4 s from the southeast
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph W · gusts 13

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

The best window is 6:10 am to 10:00 am, though with barely any waves and onshore 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 7:50 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.

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.

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
  • 1:54–3:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:03–10:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:49–9:49 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.4 mi out for 33 ft of water. It reaches 164 ft at 2.6 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 33 ft deep2.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 6.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.4 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
