Tides in Ksamil
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 22 min to high tide at 5:14 am.
In Ksamil 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

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:30–2:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:22–9:22 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.

Water depth

- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
