Tides

Tides in Nova Siri Scalo

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:57 am 0.9 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:05 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:59 pm 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 54 min to low tide at 11:32 am.

In Nova Siri Scalo 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), 39 mi from Nova Siri Scalo. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Nova Siri Scalo

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.3 s from the north-northwest (341°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 2.4 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.1 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph WNW · gusts 12
Offshore (11 mi SSE)Offshore 12 mph NW · gusts 18

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

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Nova Siri Scalo 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
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:51–10:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:45–7:45 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Nova Siri Scalo) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.3 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
