  • Wind 19 mph

    Fresh offshore wind (19 mph): blowing sand. Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 2:15 am

    Low tide at 2:15 am and 1:32 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 9:58 am and 7:16 pm.

  • ▲ High tide 7:16 pm 0.9 ft · coef. 79

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 30 min to low tide at 2:15 am.

Tide coefficient 78 for the 9:58 am high tide and 79 for the 7:16 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.1 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 23 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-1.6 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Judibana has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.5 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Judibana

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.6 ft · 3.6 s from the east-northeast (76°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 12:10 pm to 2:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and the sun high, though with moderate 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:19–4:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:51–4:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:30–10:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:12–10:12 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Judibana) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.9 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
