Where this tide comes from
Ajuy has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.8 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 Ajuy
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.2 ft
- Significant6.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.4 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).

- Energy: 373 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water. 4:00 pm to 6:39 pm also works, with a good size and glassy water.
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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:39 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:02 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:20 am to 9:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:10 pm to 3:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.
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 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:21–3:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:52–3:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:10–10:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:32–8:32 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 500 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.4 mi.

- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep2.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 20 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 500 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
