Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Qiryat Yam has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.4 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 Qiryat Yam

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.0 ft · 6.8 s from the west (280°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SE · gusts 9
Offshore (11 mi NNW)Offshore 10 mph SE · gusts 15

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:29 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and cross-shore wind.

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, 5:50 am to 6:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:50 am to 12:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

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.

  • 12:59–2:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:06–10:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:55–7:55 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 650 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Qiryat Yam) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep650 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 650 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
