Tides

Tides in Empa

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 11:59 am 0.8 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.5 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 18 min to low tide at 6:04 am.

In Empa 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), 173 mi from Empa. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Empa

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.5 ft · 5.1 s from the west-southwest (247°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 4.7 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.2 ft
  • Significant2.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph S · gusts 15
Offshore (11 mi WSW)Offshore 9 mph S · gusts 25

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.5 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water about normal for late October.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind.

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, 6:10 am to 7:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

In Empa 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
  • 1:10–3:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:42–3:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:24–10:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:59–7:59 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 0.55 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Empa) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deep1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.5 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
