Where this tide comes from
Costa Calma has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.5 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.

Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.4 ft
- Significant4.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.3 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 south 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 Thursday 29: 4.8 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 3.8 ft swell at 11 s from the northwest, average; this coast faces away from it

- Falling tide (low tide at 8:26 pm)
- Light: First light 6:41 am · sunrise 7:06 am · sunset 6:15 pm · last light 6:40 pm
- Tide: high 1:59 am (3.7 ft), low 8:08 am (-3.7 ft), high 2:23 pm (3.4 ft) and low 8:26 pm (-3.3 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:40 pm, has glassy water, though with small waves.
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.
Diving in Costa Calma today

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:40 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:03 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:20 am to 9:00 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:00 pm to 2:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some 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.

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
- 1:53–3:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:09–10:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:33–8:33 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. 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 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.8 mi from shore.
