Tides

Tides in Agía Marína

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 2:40 am 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 34 min to low tide at 10:54 am.

In Agía Marína the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 July 13 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (-0.1 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), 1.1 mi from Agía Marína. 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 Marína

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.8 ft · 5.1 s from the north-northwest (336°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.9 ft
  • Significant3.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:59 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with waves.

In Agía Marína 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
  • 1:45–3:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:02–11:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:32–8:32 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.75 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.5 mi.

From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Agía Marína) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
