- ▼ Low tide 3:45 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:18 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:22 pm 0.3 ft

In Menzel Bourguiba the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 10 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (-0.4 ft).
Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:41–2:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:56–9:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
