Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Mala has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Arrecife (TICON-4), 9.3 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 2:30 pm to 4:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:30 am to 10:10 am, 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.

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:18–11:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:30–9:30 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 340 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 750 ft.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Mala) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep250 ft
  • 33 ft deep340 ft
  • 66 ft deep470 ft
  • 164 ft deep750 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 30 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 340 ft and 66 ft at 470 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
