The best window, 6:24 am to 10:00 am, has 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:14–11:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:30–8:30 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 350 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2 mi.

From the shoreline (1.6 mi from Nafplion) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep250 ft
  • 33 ft deep350 ft
  • 66 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 30 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 350 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
