The sea at Glyfáda
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 southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.0 ft with a period of 3 s, from the west-northwest (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 71.1 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:53–3:53 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:25–4:25 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:21–11:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:29–8:29 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.65 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.85 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.65 mi
- 33 ft deep0.7 mi
- 66 ft deep0.7 mi
- 164 ft deep0.85 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
