↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 4 min to low tide at 4:10 pm.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 2:04 pm high tide and 80 for the 11:49 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.8 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 December 24 (7.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (0.0 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 26 to 27 (coefficient 106, 5.4 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 20, 3.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Gili Air has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lembar (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 Gili Air
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 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 Tuesday 3: 2.3 ft with a period of 11 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 4.1 °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 (+2.9 °F).

Surf in Gili Air today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 7:08 am)
- Light: First light 5:26 am · sunrise 5:48 am · sunset 6:11 pm · last light 6:32 pm
- Tide: low 7:08 am (0.7 ft), high 2:04 pm (3.6 ft), low 4:10 pm (3.5 ft) and high 11:49 pm (6.4 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 85.3 °F–86.7 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 29 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:26 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 4:00 pm to 6:32 pm can also work, 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.
Diving in Gili Air today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (2:04 pm): little current from 1:20 pm to 3:07 pm
- 1.3 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (5 mph)
- 1.1 mph current toward the west, strong (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 7:08 am (6:50–7:30 am), high tide 2:04 pm (1:20–3:07 pm), low tide 4:10 pm (3:07–5:10 pm) and high tide 11:49 pm (11:20 pm–12:10 am)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.1 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.3–86.7 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:32 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 9:28 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with 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 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:20–3:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:47–8:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:58–9:58 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.1 mi out for 33 ft of water.
From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Gili Air) out to sea, heading northwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.7 mi
- 33 ft deep1.1 mi
- 66 ft deep1.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.7 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 1.1 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). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
