Questions about the tides on Lesbos Island
Are there tides on Lesbos Island?
Very small ones: today the astronomical tide is about 0.9 ft between high and low tide (FES2022 station). The sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure, which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
When are the next spring tides on Lesbos Island?
From October 26 to 28, after the new or full moon, with the moon near perigee, so they will be bigger than usual. Here the tide is so small that they are hardly noticeable.
Why do some places on Lesbos Island have no tide times?
70 of the 114 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Antalya, is 279 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.
What time are sunrise and sunset today on Lesbos Island?
In the middle of the area, the sun rises at 6:38 am and sets at 5:19 pm: 10 h 41 min of daylight. In Agriliá Kratígou it rises 3 minutes earlier than in Sigri.
