Fishing in Skiáthos today
Best time to fish
Solunar activity today: high- Sunset at 5:30 pm, golden hour from 4:53 pm
- Falling pressure (−0.12 inHg in 24 h), light onshore wind (10 mph) and some swell (4.4 ft waves) to stir the water
- Waning gibbous: a bit more activity than at the quarters
Your day at a glance
The best window, 4:50 pm to 6:00 pm, combines sunset, falling pressure, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 2:30 pm to 3:20 pm, with a major period and falling pressure, though with moderate wind.
Species with the most records nearby: white seabream, common two-banded seabream, salema and saddled seabream. October is one of the months when these are seen most: white seabream and saddled seabream. What you can catch

- Swimming Use care · 6.2 ft
6.2 ft waves every 5 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 68 °F
Cool: refreshing on a hot day.

Tides in Skiáthos
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:29 am 0.5 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:04 am -0.5 ft
- ▲ High tide 5:15 pm 0.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:48 pm -0.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 7 min to high tide at 4:59 am.
In Skiáthos the astronomical tide is very small: about 1.0 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 October 27 (0.5 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-0.6 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), 2.1 mi from Skiáthos. 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 Skiáthos
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.9 ft
- Significant3.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 6.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (moderate).
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 67.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Skiáthos today
Surf today
Fair- 3.2–5.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 2.0 ft swell at 5 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- 4.6 ft wind swell at 5 s: messy waves
- Fresh offshore wind (22 mph)
- Light: First light 6:22 am · sunrise 6:49 am · sunset 5:30 pm · last light 5:58 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 68.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 98 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.
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 Skiáthos today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- 3.7 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.7 mph current toward the west (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: fair. Rain (2.17 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 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 6:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, lines up with light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 9:10 am to 11:30 am, with the sun high, though with waves, moderate wind, current and heavy rain.
In Skiáthos 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 Skiáthos
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,471 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:05–10:05 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:21–7:21 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: 16 ft at 800 ft from shore and 0 ft at 0.95 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep800 ft
- 33 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 800 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 0.95 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
