Tides

Tides in Amica

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:18 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 4:50 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:54 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 9 min to high tide at 4:56 am.

In Amica 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 (0.9 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 Crotone station (TICON-4), 44 mi from Amica. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Amica

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.4 ft · 3.6 s from the north-northeast (18°)
Swell 1.3 ft · 3.1 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

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 7 mph SSW · gusts 13
Offshore (11 mi NNE)Offshore 9 mph WNW · gusts 18

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

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (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 69.2 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

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

In Amica 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
  • 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:47–7:47 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,300 ft.

From the shoreline (1.6 mi from Amica) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep300 ft
  • 33 ft deep550 ft
  • 66 ft deep800 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,300 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 18 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 550 ft and 66 ft at 800 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
