↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 12 min to high tide at 7:37 am.
Tide coefficient 80 for the 7:37 am high tide and 81 for the 8:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 22 (3.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 15 (0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum (CD), the zero of that port's nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (CD)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 22 to 25 (coefficient 81, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 13 (coefficient 40, 0.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from

The sea at Sande
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 Thursday 29: 0.9 ft with a period of 2 s, from the south-southwest (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 2.7 °F more 2 days ago 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 cools over the next few days: about 47.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:20 am to 8:20 am, with slack water at high tide, small waves, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Sande
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:52–1:52 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:37–5:37 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,050 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (2.4 mi from Sande) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep650 ft
- 33 ft deep1,050 ft
- 66 ft deep0.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,050 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,050 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2 mi out.
