Lombok Chart Tides Tables Information
Surfing on Kute
Lombok
Most of the well known
breaks are of the south coast, with Kute the ideal
base for them : Grupuk, Mawun, Mawi, selong Belanak,
Ekas Bay these surfing beaches are widely known
amongs the world best surfers, they very
accesibility from the our Hotel.
First please note that
none of our data should ever be used for navigation
or passage planning or for making decisions where
there is a potential for harm to anyone. It should
go without saying that we are not going to
be responsible for any decisions you make!
A tidal prediction
is just that, a well educated guess based on years
of observed data. Many factors will affect the tide
including local winds and pressure systems. A margin
of error of at least 10 minutes is to be expected
with any forecast and its this level of accuracy we
aim to achieve. Data quality varies by port and
country: large western commercial ports will be very
accurate, small Asian fishing villages are probably
going to be somewhat less accurate. If you spot any
that are wildly innacurate please let us know.
Tidal predictions were
primarily of interest to mariners so tidal
observation data has traditionally been collected at
major ports. Minor ports are then deduced from
these. As surfers we don't spend a lot of time in
ports or harbours but as a rule a tide prediction
for a nearby beach will only vary by a few minutes
from the nearest port, but check that the port
listed is actually close to your chosen break!. We
automatically select the nearest port for which we
have data based on distance. Occasionally this
produces undesirable results, as a further away port
might have a better correlation. Again, let us know
if you spot one that is right out.
The tide chart can be a
little daunting at first, but it's really very
simple and once you get used to it a lot easier to
read than a sheet of numbers.
The greys at the top
represent day and night and twilight, the greens at
the bottom tell you what the tide is doing. The
rising and falling tides are different colours only
to make it easier to see where the highs and lows
are.
