Tides in Vasilikí
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 6:14 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 12:36 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:06 pm 0.6 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 32 min to high tide at 6:14 am.
In Vasilikí 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

The sea at Vasilikí
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.6 ft
- Significant3.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Surf in Vasilikí today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the west-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 6:34 am · sunrise 7:01 am · sunset 5:41 pm · last light 6:08 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 73.4 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 23 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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, 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:20 am, with light wind, though with current.

The moon in Vasilikí
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:28–11:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:35–8:35 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 9.8 ft.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.3 mi
- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deep0.45 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. About 9.8 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
- 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 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
