  • ▼ Low tide 10:10 am -0.7 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 46 min to high tide at 5:04 pm.

Tide coefficient 92 for the 5:52 am high tide and 85 for the 5:04 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 2.7 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 December 25 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-2.3 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Kamaosi has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.4 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 Kamaosi

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.0 ft · 4.5 s from the south-southeast (150°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 3.4 s from the south-southeast
Current 0.5 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph E · gusts 11

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 7:00 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, 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
  • 1:17–3:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:44–8:44 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.

From the shoreline (2.4 mi from Kamaosi) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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).

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
