Tide coefficient 91 for the 8:06 am high tide and 82 for the 11:50 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.8 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 June 13 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-1.3 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 106, 1.8 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 18 (coefficient 20, 0.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Crikvenica has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Crikvenica

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.1 ft.

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:10 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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.

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 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:21–2:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:52–2:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:07–10:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:31–6:31 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 500 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Crikvenica) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep370 ft
  • 33 ft deep500 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 2.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 11 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 500 ft and 66 ft at 1,150 ft from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.2 mi out. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
