Tide coefficient 92 for the 6:26 am high tide and 86 for the 7:24 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.5 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 March 20 (2.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-2.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from
Tabou has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.9 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 Tabou
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.1 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Tabou today
Surf today
Poor- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.2 ft swell at 6 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:58 pm)
- Light: First light 5:53 am · sunrise 6:14 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:34 pm
- Tide: low 12:31 am (-1.3 ft), high 6:26 am (1.5 ft), low 12:58 pm (-1.9 ft) and high 7:24 pm (1.4 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 81.3 °F–82.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 30 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 8:10 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:56–3:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:28–4:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:51–9:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:06–10:06 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

- 164 ft deep0.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 6.6 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 550 ft and 66 ft at 850 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).
