Where this tide comes from
Umudu 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 Umudu
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature

Surf today
Poor- 0.9–1.4 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:19 pm)
- Light: First light 5:06 am · sunrise 5:27 am · sunset 5:41 pm · last light 6:02 pm
- Tide: low 2:30 am (-1.4 ft) and high 3:19 pm (1.5 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 82.4 °F–83.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:06 am to 8:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with barely any 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:50 pm to 4:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:30 am to 6:10 am, with little swell and light wind, though with tidal current and 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 226,469 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:25–8:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:16–9:16 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. 33 ft of water just 1,300 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 1,300 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi 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.
