Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Ibo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.4 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Ibo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.3 ft · 4.2 s from the east-northeast (57°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 4.2 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.5 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph NNE · gusts 14
Offshore (13 mi ENE)Offshore 15 mph NNE · gusts 18

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southeast (slight).

Water now83.8 °F
Today 83.5–84.2 °F air: 77 / 85 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 81.0 °F measured 0.6 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder 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 warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window is 4:24 am to 8:00 am, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:20 am to 11:40 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 6:54–7:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:23–9:23 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1 mi out for 33 ft of water. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1 mi
  • 33 ft deep1 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1 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 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
