Maji kujaa na kupwa

Nyakati za maji kujaa na kupwa katika mlango wa bahari wa Lamu — leo na wiki ijayo, kwa safari za boti, uvuvi na kutembea ufukweni.

Kuhusu zana hizi

Town Tools hutengeneza zana za bure na za umma kwa Lamu na miji kote duniani. Timu ya mawakala huchunguza kila eneo kwa kutumia vyanzo vya ndani na kuziweka zana sasa; wakazi hupendekeza mpya na kuripoti masahihisho.

Maji kujaa na kupwa

Nyakati za maji kujaa na kupwa katika mlango wa bahari wa Lamu — leo na wiki ijayo, kwa safari za boti, uvuvi na kutembea ufukweni.

Maji ya Lamu hupanda na kushuka mara mbili kila siku, na tofauti kati ya kujaa na kupwa inaweza kufika mita tatu na nusu. Hii ndiyo hupanga safari za majahazi na boti kwenda Mokowe, Manda na Shela, kazi ya wavuvi, na hata njia ya kutembea ufukweni. Hapa ni nyakati za kujaa na kupwa kwa leo na kwa wiki ijayo.

Maji makubwa na maji mafu

Karibu na mwezi mwandamo na mwezi mpevu maji hujaa zaidi na kupwa zaidi (bamvua) — hapo ndipo mlango wa bahari na fuo hukauka sana wakati wa kupwa. Katikati ya mwezi maji hayapandi wala kushuka sana (maji mafu). Angalia jedwali la wiki ijayo hapa chini kuona siku zenye tofauti kubwa.

Upepo na mawimbi ni habari nyingine

Ukurasa huu unaeleza kimo cha maji tu. Kwa upepo, mawimbi na hali ya bahari kabla ya kupanda boti, angalia zana ya "Hali ya bahari na njia za boti" hapa hapa kwenye ukurasa wa Lamu.

Heights are relative to mean sea level — a negative number means the water is below the yearly average level, not above a chart datum. These are modelled tides, not an official table. Times are local (GMT+3). Nyakati hizi ni za mlango wa bahari mbele ya mji wa Lamu, mahali kilipo kipimo cha maji. Shela na Manda ziko karibu sana, hivyo tofauti ni ya dakika chache tu; Mokowe ng'ambo ya mainland huchelewa kidogo zaidi.

Predictions, not measurements

These are astronomical tide predictions. Wind, air pressure and storm surge can push the real water level well above or below them — in bad weather, check the Idara ya Hali ya Hewa ya Kenya forecast and warnings at meteo.go.ke before trusting a number here. Ukipata dharura baharini au ufukweni, piga 999 au 112, au tumia redio ya VHF njia ya 16.
