Tides in Sými
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 6:04 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:59 am 0.8 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:53 pm 1.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 25 min to low tide at 6:04 am.
In Sými 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)

The sea at Sými
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 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 west 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 Tuesday 3: 2.4 ft with a period of 4 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 75.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:29–3:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:01–4:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:50–10:50 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.
