Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 3:40 pm, combines the 2:43 pm low tide, a major period and some swell. Also good from 9:20 am to 10:20 am, with the 9:21 am high tide, moonset and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:30 am to 3:30 am, with the 2:36 am low tide and a major period, though with moderate wind.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Izena has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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 Izena

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 3.4 ft · 6.8 s from the north (0°)
Swell 2.9 ft · 5.9 s from the north-northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft
  • Significant3.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph NE · gusts 11

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:12 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 9:10 am to 10:20 am, with slack water at high tide, 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
  • 1:31–3:31 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 3.1 mi.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Izena) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, 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.
