Tides

Tides in Karavóstamo

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 10:57 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:27 pm 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:56 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 49 min to high tide at 3:45 am.

In Karavóstamo the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 May 17 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-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), 1.1 mi from Karavóstamo. 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).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Karavóstamo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.4 ft · 4.6 s from the west (260°)
Swell 0.8 ft · 3.6 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the SSE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NNE · gusts 9

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Cross-onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.5 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now71.8 °F
Today 71.6–71.8 °F air: 60 / 67 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 69.1 °F measured 0.7 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 70.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:47 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.

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, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Karavóstamo 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
  • 1:36–3:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:08–4:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:00–11:00 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:15–8:15 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 700 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Karavóstamo) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep460 ft
  • 33 ft deep700 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 700 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 700 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
