Where this tide comes from
Kenitra has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 5.6 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 Kenitra
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.4 ft
- Significant6.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 6.9 ft with a period of 13 s, from the northwest (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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−0.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:17 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water. 12:00 pm 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 8:20 am to 10:00 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- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:55–9:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:43–7:43 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.
