Tides in Argáka

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 6:04 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.5 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 55 min to high tide at 11:59 am.

In Argáka the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 August 13 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.0 ft).

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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Antalya station (TICON-4), 161 mi from Argáka. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Argáka

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 3.0 ft · 5.5 s from the west-southwest (241°)
Swell 2.6 ft · 4.2 s from the southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph SSE · gusts 13
Offshore (13 mi N)Offshore 7 mph S · gusts 16

Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, with weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and moderate wind.

In Argáka 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:25–10:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:58–7:58 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,050 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.2 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Argáka) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 8.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 mi from shore.
