Where this tide comes from
Platanitsi Beach has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).

Surf in Platanitsi Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.0 ft swell at 4 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:37 am)
- Light: First light 6:22 am · sunrise 6:50 am · sunset 5:25 pm · last light 5:53 pm
- Tide: high 4:58 am (0.5 ft), low 11:37 am (-0.4 ft), high 5:52 pm (0.2 ft) and low 11:19 pm (-0.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 67.6 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 12 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:22 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
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 Platanitsi Beach today

- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:58 am (4:40–5:20 am), low tide 11:37 am (11:20 am–12:00 pm), high tide 5:52 pm (5:20–6:20 pm) and low tide 11:19 pm (10:50–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.3 ft at 6 s) and rain (0.98 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.

- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:53 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:20 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current.
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 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:17–4:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:20–11:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1 mi.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 8.2 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
