Tides in Donoussa
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:09 am 0.2 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 10:54 am -0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 27 min to low tide at 10:54 am.
In Donoussa 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 December 25 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (-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 EOT20 station (DGFI-TUM), 3.1 mi from Donoussa. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Donoussa
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 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 northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.6 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (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 Donoussa today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.6 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 4 s from the north-northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.4 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- First or last light of the day
- Light: First light 6:11 am · sunrise 6:38 am · sunset 5:23 pm · last light 5:49 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 68.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:11 am to 10:00 am, though with small waves, 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.
Diving in Donoussa today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 2.5 ft surface waves
- Light onshore wind (12 mph)
- 1.0 mph current toward the south-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.80 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:49 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:49 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, combines light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 9:00 am to 10:30 am, with little swell and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current.
In Donoussa 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 Donoussa
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:37–3:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:10–4:10 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:00–11:00 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 260 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.
From the shoreline (2 mi from Donoussa) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep130 ft
- 33 ft deep260 ft
- 66 ft deep1.2 mi
- 164 ft deep1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 43 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 260 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 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.
