Tide coefficient 94 for the 7:39 am high tide and 88 for the 7:09 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.7 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 December 25 (3.3 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-4.0 ft).

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 104, 7.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 23, 2.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Caraga 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 and waves

The sea at Caraga

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 2.6 ft · 9.0 s from the east-northeast (62°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 7.4 s from the northeast
Current 2.3 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph E · gusts 9
Offshore (14 mi ESE)Offshore 2 mph N · gusts 7

Onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:40 am, with slack water at high tide 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.

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
  • 12:36–2:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:38–8:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:39–8:39 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 600 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Caraga) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep470 ft
  • 33 ft deep600 ft
  • 66 ft deep850 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 600 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 600 ft and 66 ft at 850 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.
