Tide coefficient 31 for the 2:52 am high tide and 44 for the 1:17 pm high tide. Neap tides. The water rises and falls 1.0 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.

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Pemalang has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.2 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Pemalang

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.4 ft · 3.3 s from the east-northeast (57°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 2.9 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph SSW · gusts 4
Offshore (13 mi NE)Offshore 4 mph WSW · gusts 8

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 0.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east-northeast (smooth).

Water temperature

Water now86.9 °F
Today 86.9–88.2 °F air: 77 / 92 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 83.8 °F measured 2.2 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.9 °F).

The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:40 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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
  • 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:18–8:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:23–9:23 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 14 ft deep.

From the shoreline (2.1 mi from Pemalang) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.2 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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