  • Swimming Use care · 3.3 ft

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 9 · SPF 50

    Max UV 9 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 11:00 am–1:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 9 mph

    Offshore breeze (9 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 7:04 pm

    Low tide at 7:19 am and 7:04 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 1:41 am and 12:09 pm. Coefficient 99 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, brings sunshine, beach weather, water at 86 °F and low tide at 7:19 am, though with light offshore wind and some waves. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, beach weather and water at 87 °F, though with light offshore wind and some waves.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Kalpeni has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 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 Kalpeni

Waves 3.3 ft · 10.0 s from the south-southeast (168°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

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

Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell and 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:47–3:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:55–9:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:44–9:44 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 50 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 240 ft.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Kalpeni) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep20 ft
  • 33 ft deep50 ft
  • 66 ft deep90 ft
  • 164 ft deep240 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 217 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 50 ft and 66 ft at 90 ft from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
