Tides

Tides in Katákolo

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 12:02 pm -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:56 pm 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:28 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 29 min to high tide at 5:19 am.

In Katákolo the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 May 16 (0.3 ft) and the lowest, on August 12 (-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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.8 mi from Katákolo. 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).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Katákolo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.7 ft · 5.4 s from the northwest (315°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 5.1 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.5 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NE · gusts 9
Offshore (7.5 mi NNW)Offshore 9 mph NNE · gusts 15

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

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 73.0 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.0 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves. 6:30 am to 10:00 am can also work, with glassy water, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:20 am to 12:20 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Katákolo the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:56–3:56 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:21–11:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:35–8:35 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Katákolo) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep230 ft
  • 33 ft deep550 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 24 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 550 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
