Where this tide comes from
Lhokseumawe has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 5.1 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.

The sea at Lhokseumawe
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northwest (slight).
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 Lhokseumawe today
Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.5 ft swell at 4 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (9 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 12:00 pm)
- Light: First light 5:55 am · sunrise 6:17 am · sunset 6:14 pm · last light 6:35 pm
- Tide: low 5:55 am (-2.9 ft), high 12:00 pm (2.3 ft) and low 5:53 pm (-2.3 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 86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 6 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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 Lhokseumawe today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (12:00 pm): little current from 11:40 am to 12:20 pm
- 1.4 ft swell at 4 s from the northwest: barely any surge
- Light offshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Water at 86.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:35 pm. Waning gibbous (87%), rising at 9:17 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:10 am to 1:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

The moon in Lhokseumawe
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,507 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:12–4:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:36–9:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:47–9:47 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
