Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:20 am to 6:00 am, combines the 6:25 am high tide, sunrise and some swell. Also worth a try from 5:50 pm to 6:40 pm, with the 6:40 pm high tide, sunset and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 11:40 am to 1:40 pm, with the 12:43 pm low tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Calm · 2.0 ft

    2.0 ft waves: calm for swimming. Low rip current risk. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 83 °F

    Very warm: barely refreshing.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 12 · SPF 50

    Max UV 12 (extreme): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–2:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 13 mph

    Moderate cross-shore wind (13 mph).

  • Tide & sand 12:43 pm

    Low tide at 12:19 am and 12:43 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 6:25 am and 6:40 pm. Coefficient 97 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, brings sunshine, beach weather, little wind, a calm sea, water at 83 °F and low tide at 12:43 pm, though with a chance of rain and very high UV. 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, beach weather, little wind, a calm sea and water at 84 °F, though with rain.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Morombe has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.9 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Morombe

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.7 ft · 6.9 s from the southwest (231°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SW · gusts 15
Offshore (7.1 mi W)Offshore 8 mph SW · gusts 22

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:02 am to 7:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, though with small waves, a short-period swell and thunderstorms.

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, 5:50 am to 6:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:50 am to 1:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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
  • 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:19–8:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:34–10:34 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: 16 ft at 0.6 mi from shore and 19 ft at 3.1 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Morombe) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
