Tides in Ólymbos
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:39 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:09 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 5:39 pm -0.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 39 min to low tide at 5:39 pm.
In Ólymbos 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 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on September 10 (-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), 2.3 mi from Ólymbos. 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 Ólymbos
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 5.3 ft with a period of 6 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 (+1.6 °F).

Surf in Ólymbos today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.1 ft swell at 5 s from the west, short: weak, messy waves
- 2.2 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Thunderstorm: stay out of the water (lightning)
- First or last light of the day
Thunderstorms in the best window: with lightning, stay out of the water.
- Light: First light 6:04 am · sunrise 6:30 am · sunset 5:19 pm · last light 5:45 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 73.0 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 28 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:04 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell, onshore wind 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.
Diving in Ólymbos today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 1.9 ft swell at 5 s from the west: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (17 mph)
- 0.3 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 3.7 ft at 5 s) and rain (0.67 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:45 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:48 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, with weak current, though with moderate wind.
In Ólymbos 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 Ólymbos
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:49–10:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:18–8:18 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 460 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Ólymbos) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep290 ft
- 33 ft deep460 ft
- 66 ft deep0.25 mi
- 164 ft deep0.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 21 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 460 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
