Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:40 pm to 3:40 pm, combines a major period and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 6:40 pm to 7:40 pm, with moonrise, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 4:40 pm to 5:20 pm, with sunset and some swell, though with moderate wind.

Species with the most records nearby: striped red mullet, common octopus, salema and dusky grouper. October is one of the months when these are seen most: striped red mullet. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Specchiolla

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 Specchiolla 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), 32 mi from Specchiolla. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Specchiolla

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.5 ft · 4.5 s from the north-northwest (347°)
Swell 2.0 ft · 4.5 s from the north
Current 0.3 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft
  • Significant3.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 16 mph NNW · gusts 27
Offshore (1.1 mi NE)Offshore 15 mph NNW · gusts 25

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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.

Cross-onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

Water now68.4 °F
Today 68.2–68.4 °F air: 60 / 66 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 68.5 °F measured 0.8 mi away

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 67.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window is 6:00 am to 10:00 am, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind.

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, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

In Specchiolla 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.

Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:11–3:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:38–7:38 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 1,200 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Specchiolla) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.85 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 6.6 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • 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 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.
