Where this tide comes from
Porto-Vecchio has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Solenzara (TICON-4), 19 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 sea at Porto-Vecchio
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 68.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:20 pm to 5:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:20 am to 12:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
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- 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:28–11:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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.
