Tides

Tides in Míthymna

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:17 am -0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:37 pm 0.2 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:57 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 10 min to high tide at 4:34 am.

In Míthymna the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-0.5 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), 0.5 mi from Míthymna. 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 Míthymna

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 2.3 ft · 4.5 s from the north (350°)
Swell 1.7 ft · 3.9 s from the north
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 0 mph ENE · gusts 3
Offshore (13 mi NW)Offshore 21 mph NNE · gusts 29

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (slight).

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 (+2.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:12 am to 7:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, 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 Míthymna 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
  • 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:08–8:08 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 500 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Míthymna) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep330 ft
  • 33 ft deep500 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 16 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 500 ft and 66 ft at 1,050 ft from shore.

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