Where this tide comes from
Toamasina has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 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 Toamasina
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

Surf in Toamasina today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.3 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:19 am)
- Light: First light 4:43 am · sunrise 5:05 am · sunset 5:47 pm · last light 6:10 pm
- Tide: high 2:05 am (1.1 ft), low 8:19 am (-0.9 ft), high 2:09 pm (0.7 ft) and low 8:21 pm (-1.1 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 79.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 36 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with 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, 7:40 am to 9:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 1:40 pm to 2:30 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and 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.

Today the moon is 226,484 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:27–2:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:03–7:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:53–8:53 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.
