Where this tide comes from
Tulagi has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Honiara (TICON-4), 26 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 Tulagi
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-southeast (slight).

The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 9:00 am to 9:50 am, with little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:42–8:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:55–9:55 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.
