Tides

Tides in Spárto

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 12:36 pm 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 6:06 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 38 min to high tide at 6:14 am.

In Spárto the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 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 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Otranto station (TICON-4), 164 mi from Spárto. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Spárto

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 2.8 s from the north-northwest (337°)
Wind waves — —
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SSE · gusts 7
Offshore (8.9 mi NW)Offshore 4 mph ENE · gusts 8

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

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 1.0 ft with a period of 2 s, from the east-southeast (smooth).

Water temperature

Water temperature →
Water now73.4 °F
Today 73.4–73.6 °F air: 52 / 71 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 70.3 °F measured 0.9 mi away

The satellite measured 3.1 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 (+2.8 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

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

In Spárto 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:27–11:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:31–8:31 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.
