The beach and the bay of Anakao Ocean Lodge are subject to the phenomenon of tides. At high water level the water level still leaves a wide beach area without compromising relaxation on the beach. The lowering of the water level is more pronounced near the new and the full moon that come back every 14 days. The maximum tidal range is 3 meters, this is due to the Mozambique Channel.
The water levels recorded at Anakao during 2008 are for the dead water periods of high and low tide levels between 190 cm and 232 cm and for periods of bright water at full moon and new moon times low and high tide levels between 40 cm and 362 cm.Tidal predictions are fairly accurate and accessible in various specialized sites.
