↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 42 min to low tide at 3:34 pm.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 9:40 am high tide and 80 for the 10:01 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 3.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (3.7 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-0.6 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero of US nautical charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLLW
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 87, 3.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 41, 1.8 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Fakaofo Island station (NOAA), 0.3 mi from Fale old settlement. Times and heights are its predictions. It is a NOAA subordinate station: its times and heights come from the Pago Pago Harbor reference station with the official corrections.

The sea at Fale old settlement
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.3 ft with a period of 8 s, from the southeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Fale old settlement today
Surf today
Poor- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 5.4 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Fresh offshore wind (19 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 3:34 pm)
- Light: First light 5:35 am · sunrise 5:56 am · sunset 6:21 pm · last light 6:43 pm
- Tide: low 3:24 am (-0.2 ft), high 9:40 am (2.7 ft), low 3:34 pm (-0.0 ft) and high 10:01 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.
- Water at 84.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 294 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has light offshore wind, 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.
Diving in Fale old settlement today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (9:40 am): little current from 9:10 am to 10:10 am
- 5.1 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast: strong surge on the bottom
- Fresh offshore wind (22 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.8 mph current toward the southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 3:24 am (3:00–3:50 am), high tide 9:40 am (9:10–10:10 am), low tide 3:34 pm (3:10–4:00 pm) and high tide 10:01 pm (9:40–10:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.4 ft at 8 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.6 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:43 pm. Waning gibbous (89%), rising at 9:26 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with some swell, fresh wind and current. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, though with some swell, fresh wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,442 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
- 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:42–8:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:56–9:56 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 20 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 110 ft.

- 164 ft deep110 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 305 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 20 ft and 66 ft at 50 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
