Where this tide comes from
Mehdya has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.7 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 Mehdya
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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 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 (−1.0 °F).

Surf in Mehdya 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 (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 4:08 pm)
- Light: First light 6:18 am · sunrise 6:44 am · sunset 5:37 pm · last light 6:02 pm
- Tide: high 3:38 am (4.7 ft), low 9:50 am (-4.5 ft), high 4:08 pm (4.0 ft) and low 10:08 pm (-3.7 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 68.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 590 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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 Mehdya today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (9:50 am): little current from 9:30 am to 10:10 am
- 5.7 ft swell at 10 s from the northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater

- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 6.8 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.2 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:02 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at high 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:26–4:26 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:06–11:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:45–8:45 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 0.9 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
