Sea and waves

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.7 ft · 4.5 s from the west (261°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph N · gusts 6
Offshore (18 mi S)Offshore 3 mph NNE · gusts 13

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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.

Water now73.0 °F
Today 72.9–73.0 °F air: 61 / 65 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 70.3 °F measured 0.5 mi away

The satellite measured 2.7 °F less yesterday 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 (+3.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

We don't have a reliable tide for Samos, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

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: high
  • 12:29–2:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:46–9:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:11–7:11 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.
