The water rises and falls 6.5 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.

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 107, 7.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 20, 0.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Semut has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.7 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Semut

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.5 ft · 6.6 s from the east-southeast (122°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 6.3 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.3 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph ESE · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:16 am to 9:00 am, has 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, 12:00 pm to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 8:00 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:55–2:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:54–8:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:59–8:59 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi 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 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 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).
