The best window, 2:00 am to 3:30 am, combines a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with a major period and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: striped mullet, gilthead seabream, European sea bass and white seabream. October is one of the months when these are seen most: white seabream and salema. What you can catch

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 20 min to high tide at 6:14 am.

In Gáïos the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 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 October 27 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

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.

The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 4:20 pm to 5:40 pm, with light wind, though with current.

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