2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 19 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 26 (-1.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Al Wajh has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 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 Al Wajh
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Wednesday 4: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
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.

Surf in Al Wajh today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.2 ft swell at 3 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 8:53 am)
- Light: First light 6:17 am · sunrise 6:41 am · sunset 5:54 pm · last light 6:18 pm
- Tide: low 2:35 am (-1.2 ft), high 8:53 am (0.9 ft), low 2:52 pm (-0.9 ft) and high 8:59 pm (1.0 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 82.9 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 3 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:17 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:10 am to 10:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with 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.
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 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:41–10:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:09–9:09 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 0.55 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 1 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).
