↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 32 min to low tide at 12:07 pm.

In Lithakiá the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 November 25 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (-0.3 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), 2.4 mi from Lithakiá. 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 best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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