- ▼ Low tide 5:20 pm -4.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 19 min to low tide at 5:08 am.
Tide coefficient 94 for the 10:17 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 7.6 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 December 27 (3.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-5.7 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from
Al Ashkharah has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.1 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 Al Ashkharah
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 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 Sunday 1: 1.8 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Al Ashkharah today
Surf today
Fair- 1.5–2.3 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.6 ft swell at 9 s from the south-southeast, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:17 am)
- Light: First light 5:41 am · sunrise 6:04 am · sunset 5:27 pm · last light 5:50 pm
- Tide: low 5:08 am (-0.4 ft), high 10:17 am (2.7 ft) and low 5:20 pm (-4.9 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 80.8 °F–82.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 37 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:50 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 6:50 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:52–9:52 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 60 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

- 66 ft deep120 ft
- 164 ft deep0.55 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 94 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 60 ft and 66 ft at 120 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
