Tides

Tides in Bin Jawwād

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:28 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:25 pm 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:38 pm -0.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 30 min to high tide at 5:17 am.

In Bin Jawwād the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 19 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (-0.4 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.1 mi from Bin Jawwād. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data 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).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bin Jawwād

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 4.9 ft · 6.7 s from the north (357°)
Swell 4.5 ft · 6.1 s from the north
Current 0.3 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.4 ft
  • Significant4.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest9.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph NNE · gusts 15
Offshore (11 mi ESE)Offshore 12 mph NNE · gusts 18

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, 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, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell.

In Bin Jawwād the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:11–11:11 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:13–9:13 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, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Bin Jawwād) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.6 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.8 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
