Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:00 am to 3:30 am, combines the 3:04 am low tide, a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 4:20 pm to 5:30 pm, with the 5:09 pm low tide, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also good from 8:20 am to 10:20 am, with the 9:20 am high tide and some swell.

Species with the most records nearby: common two-banded seabream, salema, saddled seabream and black scorpionfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: striped red mullet. What you can catch

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 14 min to low tide at 3:04 am.

Tide coefficient 76 for the 9:20 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 2.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on May 16 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-1.5 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 26 (coefficient 107, 2.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 20, 1.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Medulin has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Medulin

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.2 ft · 3.2 s from the northeast (43°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 2.7 s from the northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph N · gusts 10
Offshore (5.9 mi SSE)Offshore 22 mph NE · gusts 31

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.

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 66.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.7 °F).

The best window, 6:08 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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, 8:30 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:23–11:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:35–7:35 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Medulin) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 33 ft deep1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
