Where this tide comes from
Iharan̈a has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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 Iharan̈a
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 5.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Iharan̈a today
Surf today
Good- 3.0–4.6 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.4 ft swell at 6 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (4 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:03 am)
- Light: First light 4:45 am · sunrise 5:07 am · sunset 5:40 pm · last light 6:02 pm
- Tide: high 4:35 am (2.7 ft), low 11:03 am (-2.0 ft), high 4:52 pm (1.3 ft) and low 10:46 pm (-2.1 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 79.0 °F–80.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 140 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am 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.

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.4 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 79.0–80.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:02 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 9:16 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:10 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell 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.

The moon in Iharan̈a
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:56–2:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:29–3:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:12–8:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:46–9:46 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 60 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.

- 16 ft deep30 ft
- 33 ft deep60 ft
- 66 ft deep120 ft
- 164 ft deep0.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 92 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 60 ft and 66 ft at 120 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
