- ▼ Low tide 5:46 pm 0.9 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 58 min to high tide at 10:43 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 10:43 am high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 8.0 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 January 4 (10.0 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (0.2 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. 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 (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 8.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 3.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Masirah station (TICON-4), 2.5 mi from Maşīrah. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Maşīrah
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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: 0.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east-southeast (smooth).
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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:52–9:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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.

- 66 ft deep2.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 950 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.7 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
