Tides

Tides in Lixoúri

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 12:36 pm 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:06 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 25 min to high tide at 6:14 am.

In Lixoúri 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Otranto station (TICON-4), 170 mi from Lixoúri. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Lixoúri

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 3.4 ft · 6.3 s from the northwest (314°)
Swell 3.4 ft · 5.3 s from the northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft
  • Significant3.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NNE · gusts 9
Offshore (14 mi SSE)Offshore 6 mph NNW · gusts 10

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

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 72.2 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Lixoúri 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
  • 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:27–11:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:37–8:37 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Lixoúri) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.85 mi): 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
