Where this tide comes from
Zouk Mosbeh has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.1 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 stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

- 3.0 ft swell at 4 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves

- Falling tide (low tide at 5:17 pm)
- Light: First light 5:28 am · sunrise 5:54 am · sunset 4:48 pm · last light 5:14 pm
- Tide: low 5:36 am (-0.6 ft), high 11:38 am (0.3 ft), low 5:17 pm (-0.4 ft) and high 11:40 pm (0.6 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 78.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, though with a short-period swell. 5:28 am to 9:00 am can also work, with 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.
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, 10:10 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 6:40 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:56–2:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · 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.
