Tides

Tides in Agía Pelagía

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 8:26 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 12:58 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:58 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 7 min to high tide at 1:01 am.

In Agía Pelagía 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 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 12 (-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), 2.0 mi from Agía Pelagía. 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).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Agía Pelagía

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.4 ft · 5.0 s from the northwest (317°)
Swell 0.8 ft · 4.5 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 15 mph WNW · gusts 33

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water about normal for late October.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 pm to 5:54 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore wind. 6:12 am to 10:00 am can also work, though with small waves, a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.

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, 6:40 am to 9:40 am, combines little swell and weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with weak current, though with moderate wind.

In Agía Pelagía the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:28–8:28 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 280 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (0.9 mi from Agía Pelagía) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep200 ft
  • 33 ft deep280 ft
  • 66 ft deep700 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.35 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 43 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 280 ft and 66 ft at 700 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
