↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 45 min to high tide at 5:15 am.
Tide coefficient 82 for the 5:15 am high tide and 74 for the 4:36 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 November 25 (1.4 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (-0.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 108, 1.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 0.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from
San Menaio has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vieste (TICON-4), 12 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at San Menaio
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 64.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.7 °F).

Surf in San Menaio today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.8 ft swell at 4 s from the northwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Light onshore wind (6 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:30 am)
- Light: First light 5:56 am · sunrise 6:25 am · sunset 4:54 pm · last light 5:23 pm
- Tide: high 5:15 am (1.3 ft), low 11:30 am (0.5 ft), high 4:36 pm (0.9 ft) and low 10:53 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 66.7 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 8 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, 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, 3:30 pm to 4:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:50 am to 12:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:51–3:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:01–11:01 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
