Tides

Tides in Maruggio

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:32 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:05 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:59 pm 0.3 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 33 min to high tide at 4:57 am.

In Maruggio 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 (-0.3 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 Taranto station (TICON-4), 21 mi from Maruggio. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Maruggio

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.4 ft · 2.9 s from the northwest (306°)
Swell 0.4 ft · 3.6 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph NW · gusts 14
Offshore (6.1 mi SW)Offshore 14 mph NW · gusts 19

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 2.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southeast (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 67.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water about normal for late October.

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, 8:30 am to 11:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Maruggio 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
  • 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:44–3:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:40–7:40 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,150 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.1 mi.

From the shoreline (1.6 mi from Maruggio) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,150 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,150 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
