Your day at a glance

The best window, 6:10 am to 7:20 am, combines sunrise, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also good from 1:40 am to 3:40 am, with a major period and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 2:10 pm to 4:10 pm, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Tides

Tides in Kardámyla

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:09 am -0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:30 pm 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:44 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 32 min to high tide at 4:20 am.

In Kardámyla the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 April 18 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-0.4 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), 2.7 mi from Kardámyla. 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Kardámyla

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.2 ft · 4.7 s from the northwest (311°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 4.2 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph N · gusts 10
Offshore (8.7 mi ESE)Offshore 14 mph N · gusts 20

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

Water temperature

Water now71.1 °F
Today 71.1–71.2 °F air: 61 / 65 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 68.4 °F measured 2.2 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 8:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind 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, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Kardámyla 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
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:04–11:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:12–8:12 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Kardámyla) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep370 ft
  • 33 ft deep550 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • 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 550 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.

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