2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (4.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-3.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Bal-os has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.9 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 Bal-os
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 0.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (smooth).

The best window, 5:17 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 6:30 am to 7:40 am, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:53–2:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:25–3:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:59–8:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 230 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep100 ft
- 33 ft deep230 ft
- 66 ft deep700 ft
- 164 ft deep0.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 40 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 230 ft and 66 ft at 700 ft 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.
