  • Wind 9 mph

    Offshore breeze (9 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 5:47 pm

    Low tide at 7:12 am and 5:47 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 1:30 pm. Coefficient 96 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, brings beach weather, a calm sea, water at 86 °F and low tide at 7:12 am, though with clouds, rain and light offshore wind. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with beach weather, little wind, a calm sea, water at 87 °F and low tide at 5:47 pm, though with clouds and a chance of rain.

Tide coefficient 96 for the 1:30 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.4 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?

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Mandaon has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 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 Mandaon

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 2.9 s from the north (4°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph NNE · gusts 15
Offshore (16 mi S)Offshore 8 mph ENE · gusts 15

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:40 am to 7:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 4:40 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low 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
  • 12:50–2:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:22–3:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:02–9:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:42–8:42 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.
