↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 3 min to low tide at 2:51 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 8:22 am high tide and 85 for the 11:13 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 6.8 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 April 18 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-4.9 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 104, 7.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 2.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Bosaso has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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 Bosaso
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 2.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:40 am to 9:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

The moon in Bosaso
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:32–3:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:10–9:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:54–8:54 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 310 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 17 ft. It reaches 164 ft at 3 mi.

- 164 ft deep3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 17 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. 33 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.3 mi): for deeper dives, 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).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
