Tides in Chóra
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 4:35 am 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:35 am -0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:56 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:50 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 1 min to high tide at 4:35 am.
In Chóra the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 3 (-0.3 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), 1.7 mi from Chóra. 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.
The sea at Chóra
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (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.

Surf in Chóra today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.6 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.4 ft swell at 5 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- 2.2 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:15 am · sunrise 6:42 am · sunset 5:25 pm · last light 5:52 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 67.1 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:15 am to 8:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.

- Light onshore wind (5 mph)
- 0.7 mph current toward the west-southwest (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.69 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.1 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:52 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:50 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:40 am to 9:40 am, lines up with light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with weak current, though with waves and moderate wind.
In Chóra 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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 1,100 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 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.95 mi from shore.
