Tides in Volissós
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:12 am 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:05 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 5:27 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:33 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 26 min to high tide at 5:27 pm.
In Volissós 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 (0.3 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), 1.9 mi from Volissós. 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 Volissós
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.0 ft
- Significant4.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.3 °F).

Surf in Volissós today
Surf today
Poor- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.0 ft swell at 6 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 3.1 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 6:12 am · sunrise 6:39 am · sunset 5:20 pm · last light 5:47 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 69.6 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 54 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:47 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 6:12 am to 9:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 Volissós today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 3.0 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.67 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 69.6 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:47 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:43 pm: a bright night.
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. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with waves.
In Volissós 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.

The moon in Volissós
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:05–11:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:13–8:13 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.
From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Volissós) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1,250 ft
- 33 ft deep0.35 mi
- 66 ft deep0.55 mi
- 164 ft deep1.5 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,250 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
