Where this tide comes from
Tiakur has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 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.
The sea at Tiakur
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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: 1.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).
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 Tiakur today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.8 ft swell at 9 s from the southwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:26 am)
- Light: First light 5:40 am · sunrise 6:01 am · sunset 6:24 pm · last light 6:45 pm
- Tide: high 2:29 am (3.7 ft), low 9:26 am (-4.7 ft), high 4:04 pm (2.1 ft) and low 9:13 pm (-1.1 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 83.7 °F–84.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 9 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.
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, 8:50 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:31–3:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:03–4:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:59–8:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:08–10:08 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

- 33 ft deep1.5 mi
- 66 ft deep1.5 mi
- 164 ft deep1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.5 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
