↓ Falling The tide is falling. 49 min to low tide at 5:44 am.

Tide coefficient 93 for the 11:22 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.5 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 April 18 (4.9 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-6.9 ft).

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 11.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 25, 3.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Qeshm has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.2 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Qeshm

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.4 ft · 5.4 s from the southeast (137°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 2.2 s from the southeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NW · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 5:50 am to 7:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:50 am to 12:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:32–3:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:50–9:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:15–8:15 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.75 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.2 mi.

From the shoreline (0.95 mi from Qeshm) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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 0.85 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.
