Next 24 hours at R. Kothaifaru, -0.57 m to 0.33 m. The vertical line is now. Maldives time (UTC+5).

The week springs and neaps

Seven days at a glance. The envelope widens towards springs and narrows towards neaps — the swing a single day's curve cannot show.

About the tide at R. Kothaifaru

Tides in the Maldives are small. R. Kothaifaru sees a range of about 0.99 metres today, because the atolls rise straight out of deep ocean with no continental shelf to amplify the wave. What matters here is less the height than the timing: whether a reef pass is workable, whether a sandbank has uncovered, whether a harbour has water at the hour you want to leave.

These times come from EOT20, a global ocean tide model built at DGFI-TUM from three decades of satellite altimetry. Checked against an independent model over 2,067 days, the two agree to 3.5 cm and 15 minutes. The model grid is an eighth of a degree, so this is the tide of the surrounding water rather than of one jetty — the nearest sea cell is 4.5 km from Kothaifaru.

For planning, not for navigation.
