Tide Table Rikitea — 2026

📘 About Rikitea Tide Forecast

Situated along the coastline of France (-23.13° S, 134.95° W), Rikitea lies in the southern hemisphere. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 0.5m and spring tides reaching up to 0.6m. Oyster and shellfish farmers exploit the 0.5–1.5m range to alternate aerial exposure and submersion in their culture beds. The semi-diurnal cycle flushes coves frequently, shortening water residence time and maintaining high oxygenation levels. The coast here is influenced by large-scale ocean currents that modulate water temperature throughout the year.
