↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 21 min to low tide at 2:11 pm.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 8:14 am high tide and 79 for the 8:38 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.5 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 July 15 (4.5 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (0.1 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 93, 3.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 34, 1.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Solosolo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Apia (UHSLC, TICON-4), 8.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Solosolo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 8.1 ft with a period of 10 s, from the south-southeast (moderate).
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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Surf in Solosolo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 4.1 ft swell at 10 s from the south, average; this coast faces away from it
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:14 am)
- Light: First light 5:31 am · sunrise 5:53 am · sunset 6:27 pm · last light 6:49 pm
- Tide: low 2:05 am (0.5 ft), high 8:14 am (3.6 ft), low 2:11 pm (0.9 ft) and high 8:38 pm (4.0 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 81.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 320 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small 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.
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 Solosolo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (8:14 am): little current from 7:50 am to 8:40 am
- 4.1 ft swell at 10 s from the south: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.0 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 2:05 am (1:40–2:30 am), high tide 8:14 am (7:50–8:40 am), low tide 2:11 pm (1:40–2:40 pm) and high tide 8:38 pm (8:10–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.2 ft at 11 s) and rain (0.22 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.5 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:49 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 9:38 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:10 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 1:40 pm to 2:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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 226,442 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:18–3:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:33–8:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:08–10:08 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 10 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 50 ft.

- 66 ft deep20 ft
- 164 ft deep50 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 572 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 10 ft and 66 ft at 20 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
