  • Wind 10 mph

    Offshore breeze (10 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 7:05 am

    Low tide at 7:05 am and 4:42 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 1:28 pm and 11:57 pm. Coefficient 94 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, brings beach weather, a calm sea, water at 86 °F and low tide at 7:05 am, though with clouds, rain and light offshore wind. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with beach weather, a calm sea, water at 86 °F and low tide at 4:42 pm, though with clouds and light offshore wind.

Tide coefficient 94 for the 1:28 pm high tide and 89 for the 11:57 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.8 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?

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Pandan has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.8 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 Pandan

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.5 ft · 3.9 s from the north-northwest (335°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 6:20 am to 7:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 2:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, 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
  • 12:55–2:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:27–3:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:06–9:06 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Pandan) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 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).
