↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 0 min to low tide at 11:49 am.

In Gytheion the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 May 16 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (-0.2 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), 1.5 mi from Gytheion. 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.

Water now74.5 °F

Today 74.5–74.7 °F air: 49 / 71 °F

Satellite (2 days ago) 71.8 °F measured 0.9 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 (+2.7 °F).

The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Gytheion the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
