  • Sun & sunscreen UV 11 · SPF 50

    Max UV 11 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–2:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 8 mph

    Offshore breeze (8 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 12:42 pm

    Low tide at 1:18 am and 12:42 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 6:54 am and 7:25 pm. Coefficient 100 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, brings sunshine, beach weather, little wind, a calm sea, water at 87 °F and low tide at 12:42 pm, though with very high UV. 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, beach weather, a calm sea, water at 88 °F and low tide at 12:42 pm, though with light offshore wind and very high UV.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 6:54 am high tide and 94 for the 7:25 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.9 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 November 26 (4.1 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (-3.3 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Sitangkai has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.5 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 Sitangkai

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.5 ft · 6.4 s from the east (99°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 7.0 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.6 mph toward the NNW

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 6 mph SE · gusts 9

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

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 (+3.4 °F).

The best window, 5:26 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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, 11:50 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:06–3:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:39–3:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:02–9:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:15–9:15 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: even 3.1 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
