↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 15 min to low tide at 3:19 pm.
Tide coefficient 102 for the 10:07 am high tide and 99 for the 9:51 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large 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 26 (7.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (0.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 11 to 12 (coefficient 105, 6.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 22, 1.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Pangandaran Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cilacap (TICON-4), 26 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Pangandaran Beach
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 5.0 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.0 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 76.6 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.0 °F).

Surf in Pangandaran Beach today
Surf today
Good- 2.9–4.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.9 ft swell at 8 s from the south, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:07 am)
- Light: First light 4:57 am · sunrise 5:18 am · sunset 5:40 pm · last light 6:02 pm
- Tide: low 3:56 am (0.4 ft), high 10:07 am (5.0 ft), low 3:19 pm (1.7 ft) and high 9:51 pm (6.9 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 76.6 °F–78.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 158 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with 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 Pangandaran Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (3:19 pm): little current from 3:00 pm to 3:40 pm
- 3.4 ft swell at 8 s from the south: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 3:56 am (3:40–4:20 am), high tide 10:07 am (9:40–10:30 am), low tide 3:19 pm (3:00–3:40 pm) and high tide 9:51 pm (9:30–10:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.1 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.29 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 76.6–78.6 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:02 pm. Waning gibbous (87%), rising at 8:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 10:50 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Pangandaran Beach
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,507 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:51–2:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:23–3:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:20–8:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:28–9:28 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 310 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

- 16 ft deep130 ft
- 33 ft deep310 ft
- 66 ft deep700 ft
- 164 ft deep0.55 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 34 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 310 ft and 66 ft at 700 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).
