The water rises and falls 6.3 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 25 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Iheya has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.4 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.
The sea at Iheya
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 6.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).

Surf in Iheya today
Surf today
Fair- 2.4–3.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.3 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (11 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 2:39 pm)
- Light: First light 6:12 am · sunrise 6:36 am · sunset 5:48 pm · last light 6:11 pm
- Tide: low 2:32 am (-3.8 ft), high 9:17 am (2.3 ft), low 2:39 pm (-0.9 ft) and high 8:28 pm (2.6 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 80.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 67 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period 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.
Diving in Iheya today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (2:39 pm): little current from 2:10 pm to 3:10 pm
- 2.9 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (9 mph)
- 0.9 mph current toward the south-southeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 2:32 am (2:10–2:50 am), high tide 9:17 am (9:00–9:40 am), low tide 2:39 pm (2:10–3:10 pm) and high tide 8:28 pm (8:00–8:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.1 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 80.2 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:11 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:20 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,480 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:03–4:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:19–10:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:45–8:45 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: 16 ft at 100 ft from shore and 0 ft at 1.5 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 28 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 28 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. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.5 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.5 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
