Today's high and low tides

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 3 min to low tide at 8:31 am.
Tide coefficient 89 for the 2:41 am high tide and 82 for the 2:13 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (0.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 27 (coefficient 107, 2.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 20, 0.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Bel Ombre has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Port Louis (TICON-4), 25 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Bel Ombre
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Sunday 1: 6.2 ft with a period of 10 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 Bel Ombre today
Surf today
Fair- 2.0–3.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 4.2 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:04 pm)
- Light: First light 5:07 am · sunrise 5:30 am · sunset 6:18 pm · last light 6:41 pm
- Tide: high 2:41 am (2.2 ft), low 8:31 am (1.2 ft), high 2:13 pm (2.4 ft) and low 9:04 pm (0.5 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 77.0 °F–79.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 140 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, 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.
Diving in Bel Ombre today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:13 pm): little current from 1:50 pm to 2:30 pm
- 4.1 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the east-southeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:41 am (2:20–3:00 am), low tide 8:31 am (7:50–9:00 am), high tide 2:13 pm (1:50–2:30 pm) and low tide 9:04 pm (8:40–9:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.6 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 77.0–79.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:41 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 10:02 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:20 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 9:40 am, with slack water at low 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 Bel Ombre
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:25–3:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:58–3:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:24–8:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:32–10:32 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.

- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep0.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
