Tide coefficient 75 for the 8:34 am high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.6 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 14 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-1.2 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Punta Križa has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.6 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 Punta Križa

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5

Waves 2.3 ft · 3.4 s from the north-northeast (27°)

Swell 0.4 ft · 4.0 s from the north-northwest

Current 0.4 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

Most commonMost common1.2 ft
Significant2.3 ft
Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 17 mph NNE · gusts 40

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

N Sea Land

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Night Day Tide Slack Good Fair Poor 1 7:50–9:40 am2 4:20–5:00 pm

The best window, 7:50 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 4:20 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide and little swell, though with moderate wind and 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.

10:20–11:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
6:33–7:33 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 310 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.

From the shoreline (2.5 mi from Punta Križa) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

16 ft deep200 ft
33 ft deep310 ft
66 ft deep0.25 mi
164 ft deep0.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 35 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 310 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi 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. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
