Tides

Tides in Castrignano del Capo

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:36 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:06 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:09 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 min to high tide at 5:14 am.

In Castrignano del Capo 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 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), 23 mi from Castrignano del Capo. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Castrignano del Capo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.4 ft · 4.0 s from the north-northwest (334°)
Swell 1.5 ft · 3.9 s from the north
Current 0.9 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.2 ft
  • Significant2.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 12 mph NNW · gusts 26
Offshore (7.8 mi SW)Offshore 16 mph NNW · gusts 21

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north (slight).

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 Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

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, 6:30 am to 9:30 am, combines little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

In Castrignano del Capo 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
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:42–10:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:39–7:39 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 quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline (2 mi from Castrignano del Capo) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.55 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.

The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
