Tides in Baltchik
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:11 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:25 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:34 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 9:56 pm -0.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 11 min to high tide at 5:01 am.
In Baltchik 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 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-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
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.6 mi from Baltchik. 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).

The sea at Baltchik
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces south 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 Tuesday 3: 6.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 61.3 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Surf in Baltchik today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.7 ft swell at 5 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:08 am · sunrise 6:37 am · sunset 5:04 pm · last light 5:34 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 62.4 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:08 am to 10:00 am, 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.
Diving in Baltchik today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.6 ft swell at 5 s from the east: barely any surge
- Light offshore wind (7 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the west-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.58 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 62.4 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:34 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 6:14 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Baltchik 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.

The moon in Baltchik
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,471 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:24–2:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:56–2:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:03–10:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:44–6:44 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 1.1 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 1.6 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
