Where this tide comes from
Freeport of Monrovia has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.9 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 Freeport of Monrovia
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature

- Rising tide (low tide at 1:40 pm)
- Light: First light 6:08 am · sunrise 6:29 am · sunset 6:24 pm · last light 6:46 pm
- Tide: low 1:23 am (-1.8 ft), high 7:28 am (1.8 ft), low 1:40 pm (-2.3 ft) and high 8:10 pm (1.9 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.

- Energy: 56 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:08 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, 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, 12:50 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:05–9:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:11–9:11 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

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep290 ft
- 33 ft deep1,250 ft
- 66 ft deep3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 17 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. 33 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (3 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
