Tides in Poti
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:07 am 0.2 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 7:11 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 1:42 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:39 pm 0.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 19 min to low tide at 7:11 am.
In Poti the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 June 15 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on December 24 (-0.2 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.2 mi from Poti. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data 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).

The sea at Poti
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature

It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.

- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 67.1 °F–68.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 20 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.
Diving in Poti today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 0.3 ft swell at 5 s from the west-northwest: barely any surge
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.4 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here

- Water at 67.1–68.2 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:40 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:22 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
In Poti the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:31–4:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:03–5:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:14 am–12:14 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:52–8:52 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

- 33 ft deep1.7 mi
- 66 ft deep1.9 mi
- 164 ft deep2.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.1 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
