Tides, Wind & Weather

Keeping up to date with the tide, wind and weather forecast will ensure that you only head out to sea when the conditions are right. The majority of the time the conditions are calm within the coral reef and it is usually safe to go out, but during a high tide with strong wind conditions it can get quite choppy.

We have collated information from a number of websites on this page which will help familiarise you with the conditions at The Zanzibari before you arrive, and you can visit this page using our internet facilities while you are staying at the hotel. Our managers keep up to date with the forecasts so don’t hesitate to ask them if you have any questions.

Zanzibar Tide Forecast

Knowing when the tides are coming in and out is very important when you are going kayaking, snorkelling or scuba diving. Mkokotoni Harbour is the nearest port to The Zanzibari (only a few kilometres away) so the information below will be as accurate as possible.

Zanzibar Wind Forecast

Keeping up to date with the wind forecast will ensure that you only head out when the conditions are right. The wind can make the difference between an exhilerating, fun experience and a dangerous one. It will effect the size of the waves, the current and which direction you will need to head out, so whether you are kayaking, wind surfing or simply going for a swim you should always check the wind conditions first.

As always, our managers keep up to date with the daily conditions and will be more than happy to help. If you have any questions before you arrive, please e-mail us and we will do our best to answer your queries.
