Tides in Kímolos
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 2:32 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:00 am -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 38 min to high tide at 2:32 am.
In Kímolos the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 24 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 14 (-0.1 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), 1.4 mi from Kímolos. 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 Kímolos
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.4 ft with a period of 5 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.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.4 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:16 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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 Kímolos today

Likely visibility: good- 3.4 ft surface waves
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 1.5 mph current toward the south-southwest, strong (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. Rain (0.21 in) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.2 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:55 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:55 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window runs from 7:30 am to 10:30 am, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, though with waves, moderate wind and current.
In Kímolos the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Kímolos
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:43–3:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:15–4:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:04–11:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:25–8:25 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. 33 ft deep 1,100 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out.
