Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Wete has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.2 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 and waves

The sea at Wete

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.0 ft · 5.4 s from the southeast (128°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph ESE · gusts 4
Offshore (16 mi WNW)Offshore 4 mph E · gusts 7

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:50 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at high 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:12–4:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:14–9:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:10–10:10 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.
