Where this tide comes from
Paluán 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.
The sea at Paluán
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:30 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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.

Diving in Paluán today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 0.7 ft swell at 7 s from the north-northwest: barely any surge

- 0.5 mph current toward the north-northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 7:08 am (6:50–7:23 am) and high tide 11:21 pm (11:06–11:36 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.5–88.2 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:54 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 8:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:40 pm, combines little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 7:40 am, with slack water at low tide and little swell, though with 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:02–3:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:17–9:17 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

- 16 ft deep470 ft
- 33 ft deep1,150 ft
- 66 ft deep0.55 mi
- 164 ft deep1.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 13 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 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 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.
