Tides in Áno Merá

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:28 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:02 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:01 pm 0.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 17 min to high tide at 4:03 am.

In Áno Merá the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 November 26 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-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), 2.6 mi from Áno Merá. 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).

Sea and waves

The sea at Áno Merá

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.3 ft · 3.9 s from the north (349°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 4.1 s from the northwest
Current 0.8 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 12 mph N · gusts 22

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 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 about normal for late October.

The best window is 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm, lines up with the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, with light wind and the sun high, though with current.

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

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:03–11:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:19–8:19 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,150 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.3 mi.

From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Áno Merá) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep200 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 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 1,150 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
