Where this tide comes from
Friendship has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.7 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 Friendship
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 4.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (moderate).

Surf in Friendship today
Surf today
Good- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.2 ft swell at 10 s from the north, average
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 6:08 pm)
- Light: First light 6:10 am · sunrise 6:31 am · sunset 6:27 pm · last light 6:48 pm
- Tide: high 6:02 am (3.8 ft), low 11:54 am (-3.6 ft) and high 6:08 pm (4.6 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 86.4 °F–87.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 94 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water. 7:00 am to 9:00 am 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.
Diving in Friendship today

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.3 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 86.4–87.3 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:48 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:53 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:10 am to 7:10 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, 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.
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 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:17–3:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:14–9:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:23–9:23 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. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
