↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 53 min to low tide at 11:40 am.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 5:02 am high tide and 77 for the 5:51 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.0 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 17 (0.6 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-0.6 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 26 (coefficient 111, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 4 (coefficient 20, 0.3 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Velíka has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model 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 Velíka
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.6 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Velíka today
Surf today
Poor- 1.5–2.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.8 ft swell at 5 s from the east, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:40 am)
- Light: First light 6:26 am · sunrise 6:54 am · sunset 5:30 pm · last light 5:58 pm
- Tide: high 5:02 am (0.5 ft), low 11:40 am (-0.5 ft), high 5:51 pm (0.2 ft) and low 11:21 pm (-0.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 68.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 17 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:26 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period 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 Velíka today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (11:40 am): little current from 11:20 am to 12:00 pm
- 1.6 ft swell at 3 s from the north: barely any surge
- Light cross-shore wind (4 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the northwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 5:02 am (4:40–5:20 am), low tide 11:40 am (11:20 am–12:00 pm), high tide 5:51 pm (5:20–6:20 pm) and low tide 11:21 pm (10:50–11:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 3.6 ft at 6 s) and rain (2.36 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 68.2 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 5:58 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 12:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:20 pm to 6:00 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Velíka
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,597 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:23–11:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:21–8:21 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.6 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep360 ft
- 33 ft deep800 ft
- 66 ft deep0.4 mi
- 164 ft deep1.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
