Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Catéel has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.1 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

Waves 2.2 ft · 8.9 s from the east-northeast (70°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.

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

Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

The best window, 5:01 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:35 pm can also work, with 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.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:37–2:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:39–8:39 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.6 mi.

From the shoreline (900 ft from Catéel) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 0.65 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).
