  • Wind 15 mph

    Moderate offshore wind (15 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 9:33 am

    Low tide at 9:33 am and 9:26 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 3:17 am and 3:22 pm.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Soanierana Ivongo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 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 Soanierana Ivongo

7-day waves

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.4 ft · 6.1 s from the east (93°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph N · gusts 7

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with small waves and wind 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, 8:30 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 3:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind.

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
  • 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:05–8:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:56–9:56 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

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Soanierana Ivongo) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.2 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 0.6 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 1.2 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).
