  • ▼ Low tide 7:54 pm -0.8 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 11 min to low tide at 8:57 am.

Tide coefficient 36 for the 3:14 am high tide and 48 for the 1:08 pm high tide. Low coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 4 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on May 24 (-1.5 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 5 to 6 (coefficient 120, 2.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 12 (coefficient 20, 1.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Bulakamba has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.3 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:20–8:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:24–9:24 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.
