Where this tide comes from
El Akarta has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 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 El Akarta
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.7 ft
- Significant7.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest 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: 7.5 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.1 °F more yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−4.2 °F).

Surf in El Akarta today
Surf today
Very good- 4.4–6.8 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 5.6 ft swell at 10 s from the northwest, average
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:55 am)
- Light: First light 6:25 am · sunrise 6:51 am · sunset 5:49 pm · last light 6:15 pm
- Tide: high 2:46 am (4.8 ft), low 8:55 am (-4.8 ft), high 3:11 pm (4.5 ft) and low 9:14 pm (-4.3 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 64.8 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 617 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:25 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm also works, with a good size.
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 El Akarta today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (3:11 pm): little current from 2:50 pm to 3:30 pm
- 6.2 ft swell at 11 s from the northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:46 am (2:30–3:10 am), low tide 8:55 am (8:30–9:20 am), high tide 3:11 pm (2:50–3:30 pm) and low tide 9:14 pm (8:50–9:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.8 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 64.8 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:15 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:28 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:20 pm to 3:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 8:20 am to 9:50 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:31–3:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:01–10:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:58–7:58 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 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).
