Tides in Stari Grad
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 6:43 am 1.6 ft · coef. 77
- ▼ Low tide 2:16 pm 0.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:11 pm 0.9 ft · coef. 70
- ▼ Low tide 11:31 pm 0.8 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 41 min to high tide at 6:43 am.
Tide coefficient 77 for the 6:43 am high tide and 70 for the 7:11 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 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 November 25 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on August 29 (0.1 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 24 to 26 (coefficient 106, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 0.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Stari Grad has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Split (TICON-4), 24 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The best window, 1:10 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:20 am to 7:20 am, with slack water at high 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:04–11:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:32–7:32 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Stari Grad) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep400 ft
- 33 ft deep550 ft
- 66 ft deep0.9 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 10 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 550 ft and 66 ft at 0.9 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.
