Tides in Psará
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 4:22 am 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:15 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:36 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:43 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 33 min to high tide at 4:22 am.
In Psará 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 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-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
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 0.6 mi from Psará. 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).

The sea at Psará
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (moderate).
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 Psará today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 0.5 ft swell at 6 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 6.5 ft wind swell at 5 s: messy waves
- Fresh offshore wind (18 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 6:14 am · sunrise 6:41 am · sunset 5:21 pm · last light 5:49 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 67.5 °F–69.3 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 226 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has light offshore wind, 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.
Diving in Psará today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 6.5 ft waves: careful getting in and out
- Moderate offshore wind (18 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.8 mph current toward the northwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.6 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.87 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.5–69.3 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:49 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with waves, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, with the sun high, though with waves, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 6:40 am to 7:30 am, with light wind, though with waves and current.
In Psará 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:11–4:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 420 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Psará) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep290 ft
- 33 ft deep420 ft
- 66 ft deep1.4 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 22 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. 33 ft deep 420 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.4 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
