Tides

Tides in Ialysós

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 6:04 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:59 am 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 24 min to low tide at 5:26 pm.

In Ialysós 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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Antalya station (TICON-4), 140 mi from Ialysós. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Ialysós

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.1 ft · 4.6 s from the west-southwest (254°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 4.7 s from the west-southwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 10 mph WNW · gusts 26
Offshore (8.0 mi NE)Offshore 16 mph W · gusts 22

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).

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 (+0.9 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:01 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves and thunderstorms.

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, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 8:30 am, with little swell, light wind and weak current.

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:28–3:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:00–4:00 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:12–8:12 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 280 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.

From the shoreline (0.75 mi from Ialysós) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep120 ft
  • 33 ft deep280 ft
  • 66 ft deep550 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 38 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 280 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
