  • Wind 8 mph

    Offshore breeze (8 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 1:04 pm

    Low tide at 1:24 am and 1:04 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 7:22 am and 7:28 pm. Coefficient 97 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 6:00 am to 8:00 am, brings sunshine, beach weather, little wind, a calm sea and water at 86 °F, though with a spring high tide.

The water rises and falls 7.7 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.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Sapu Padidu has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.6 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:10 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:40 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high 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.

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
  • 12:42–2:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:14–3:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:40–8:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:48–8:48 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.
