Tides

Tides in Nesebar

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:08 am 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:09 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 3:22 pm 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:53 pm -0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 6 h 5 min to high tide at 4:57 am.

In Nesebar the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 July 13 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 0.5 mi from Nesebar. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Nesebar

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.5 ft · 4.4 s from the east-northeast (64°)
Swell 1.4 ft · 3.8 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph N · gusts 15
Offshore (11 mi S)Offshore 14 mph NNW · gusts 20

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 62.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Nesebar the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Today the moon is 226,471 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:26–2:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:57–2:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:01–10:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:49–6:49 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (650 ft from Nesebar) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (0.95 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
