Tides in Georgioupolis
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 1:51 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 9:46 am -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 24 min to high tide at 1:51 am.
In Georgioupolis 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 June 15 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 11 (-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
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.3 mi from Georgioupolis. 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).

The sea at Georgioupolis
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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: 4.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).
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 70.7 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf today
Flat- Barely any waves (1.0 ft sets): flat
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 6:15 am · sunrise 6:42 am · sunset 5:31 pm · last light 5:58 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.

- Energy: 51 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:15 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.

- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here

- Water at 71.6 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:02 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current.

The moon in Georgioupolis
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:16–4:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:00–11:00 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.
