  • Swimming Use care · 4.4 ft

    4.4 ft waves every 6 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. Low rip current risk. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 85 °F

    Very warm: barely refreshing.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 9 · SPF 50

    Max UV 9 (very high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–1:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 12 mph

    Moderate onshore wind (12 mph).

  • Tide & sand 10:09 am

    Low tide at 10:09 am and 9:58 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 3:50 am and 3:54 pm. Coefficient 101 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, brings sunshine, little wind, water at 85 °F and low tide at 10:09 am, though with intense heat, rain, some waves and very high UV.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Mampuri has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.9 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.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with 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, 9:20 am to 10:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with waves. Also worth a look from 3:10 pm to 4:40 pm, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:22–3:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:25–9:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:24–9:24 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.75 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.85 mi.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Mampuri) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
