Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

The sea at Sittwe
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.8 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southwest (slight).

Surf in Sittwe today
Surf today
Fair- 2.1–3.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.7 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves

- Rising tide (high tide at 11:21 am)
- Light: First light 5:56 am · sunrise 6:19 am · sunset 5:46 pm · last light 6:08 pm
- Tide: low 5:32 am (2.5 ft), high 11:21 am (8.7 ft), low 5:32 pm (2.2 ft) and high 11:53 pm (9.6 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 88.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 72 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,514 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:58–9:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:00–9:00 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 1.9 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
