Tides in Himarë
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:33 am 1.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:48 am 0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:28 pm 0.7 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:31 pm 0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 23 min to high tide at 5:14 am.
In Himarë the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 27 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.2 ft).
Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

The sea at Himarë
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.2 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south-southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

The moon in Himarë
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:31–2:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:25–9:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:33–6:33 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.
