↑ Rising The tide is rising. 12 min to high tide at 7:37 am.
Tide coefficient 105 for the 7:37 am high tide and 110 for the 8:47 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 (2.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 20 (-1.5 ft).
Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month come from October 30 to 31 (coefficient 115, 2.7 ft range). The smallest, on October 10 (coefficient 26, 1.2 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Bangui has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 6.1 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.

The sea at Bangui
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Bangui today
Surf today
Fair- 2.9–4.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.8 ft swell at 7 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (11 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:37 am)
- Light: First light 5:33 am · sunrise 5:55 am · sunset 5:26 pm · last light 5:48 pm
- Tide: low 4:14 am (-0.6 ft), high 7:37 am (-0.4 ft), low 12:18 pm (-0.7 ft) and high 8:47 pm (1.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 83.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 157 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 5:48 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind 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, 6:00 am to 8:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 11:20 am to 1:00 pm, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate 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- 1:01–3:01 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:28–9:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:37–8:37 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.6 mi.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
