Tides

Tides in Agía Varvára

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:39 am -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 18 min to high tide at 4:13 am.

In Agía Varvára the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 February 1 (-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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 5.1 mi from Agía Varvára. 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Agía Varvára

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.5 ft · 2.6 s from the west-northwest (288°)
Swell 0.2 ft · 3.4 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph WNW · gusts 11
Offshore (17 mi SSE)Offshore 14 mph NNW · gusts 21

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Agía Varvára 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
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:12–11:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:24–8:24 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.
