What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 18 (3.6 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-5.4 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 104, 8.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 21, 2.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Berbera has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.1 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 Berbera
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Berbera today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:46 am)
- Light: First light 5:29 am · sunrise 5:50 am · sunset 5:37 pm · last light 5:59 pm
- Tide: low 2:08 am (-0.4 ft), high 7:46 am (3.3 ft), low 3:01 pm (-4.7 ft) and high 10:02 pm (2.0 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 85.6 °F–86.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 14 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:29 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.
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.

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.6 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.6–86.5 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:59 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:40 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 8:20 am, with slack water at high tide 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.

The moon in Berbera
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,484 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:14–2:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:45–2:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:20–8:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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. Deep water close in: about 40 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 210 ft and 66 ft at 700 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).
