Where this tide comes from
Basco has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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 stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:42 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves. 5:30 am to 9:00 am can also work, though with a short-period swell.
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.
Diving in Basco today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (1:15 pm): little current from 12:50 pm to 1:40 pm
- 3.7 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.7 mph current toward the southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 1:42 am (1:20–2:00 am), high tide 7:58 am (7:30–8:20 am), low tide 1:15 pm (12:50–1:40 pm) and high tide 7:34 pm (7:10–8:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 4.8 ft at 7 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:42 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 7:58 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 2:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:20 am, with the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:30 am, with slack water at high tide, though with some swell, fresh wind 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 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:56–2:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:28–3:28 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:27–9:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 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).
