Tides in Chalki
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 6:04 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:59 am 0.8 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 37 min to low tide at 6:04 am.
In Chalki the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 August 13 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.0 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The sea at Chalki
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 4.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west (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 (+2.4 °F).

Surf in Chalki today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 6:03 am · sunrise 6:29 am · sunset 5:17 pm · last light 5:43 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 74.7 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 14 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:43 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell.
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 Chalki today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 2.7 ft at 5 s) and rain (1.26 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 74.7 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:43 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:44 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Chalki 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 Chalki
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:49–10:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,000 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 1,100 ft from shore.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
