Beach day in Makarov
Is it a beach day?
- Sunny
- Low tide at 11:04 am: more sand
- Feels like 20 °F: chilly for the beach
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
- Dangerous for swimming: 5.0 ft waves every 10 s; high rip current risk
- Water at 46 °F (very cold)
Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Dangerous · 5.0 ft
5.0 ft waves every 10 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 46 °F
Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 2 · SPF 15
Max UV 2 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.
- Wind 13 mph
Moderate offshore wind (13 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand 12:37 am
Low tide at 12:37 am and 11:04 am: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 7:13 am and 5:43 pm. Coefficient 99 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

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

Where this tide comes from
Makarov 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.
The sea at Makarov
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.2 ft
- Significant4.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 10 s, from the east (moderate).

Surf in Makarov today
Surf today
Good- 3.7–5.7 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.9 ft swell at 9 s from the east, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:04 am)
- Light: First light 7:37 am · sunrise 8:10 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:47 pm
- Tide: low 12:37 am (-2.2 ft), high 7:13 am (0.4 ft), low 11:04 am (-0.1 ft) and high 5:43 pm (2.2 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 45.7 °F: a 6/5 hooded fullsuit with booties and gloves.
- Energy: 334 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind.
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.
Diving in Makarov today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (5:43 pm): little current from 5:28 pm to 6:00 pm

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.0 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 45.7 °F: a drysuit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:47 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 7:46 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 9:20 am to 10:30 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:29–4:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:01–5:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:44 am–12:44 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:16–8:16 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.6 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
