Tides in Riva

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:23 am 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 4:24 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:10 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 1 min to high tide at 5:28 am.

In Riva the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 July 14 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.0 mi from Riva. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Riva

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.8 ft · 4.1 s from the north-northeast (27°)
Swell 1.8 ft · 3.8 s from the northeast
Current 0.9 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.4 ft
  • Significant2.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph NNE · gusts 22
Offshore (2.4 mi NE)Offshore 13 mph NNE · gusts 17

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.

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:31 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and thunderstorms.

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, 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm, with light wind, though with waves and current.

In Riva the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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
  • 2:23–4:23 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:55–4:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:02 am–12:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:48–8:48 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 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.9 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Riva) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 mi from shore.
