Tides

Tides in San Giorgio Lucano

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 4 min to high tide at 4:57 am.

In San Giorgio Lucano 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), 51 mi from San Giorgio Lucano. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

The sea at San Giorgio Lucano

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2

Wind waves — —
Current 0.1 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.4 ft.

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

Your diving day at a glance

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

In San Giorgio Lucano 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
  • 1:17–3:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:51–10:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:46–7:46 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: 0 ft at 650 ft.

From the shoreline (0.5 mi from San Giorgio Lucano) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 33 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 66 ft deepnot within 650 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 650 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 650 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 650 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 650 ft out.
