Tides in Bivongi

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:31 am 0.9 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:48 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 3:37 pm 0.8 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:36 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 15 min to high tide at 4:11 am.

In Bivongi the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 18 (-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

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bivongi

Sea stateSea state: slight

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.

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

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, 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, 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, combines light wind and weak current.

In Bivongi 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: high
  • 12:13–2:13 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:44–2:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:33–9:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:52–6:52 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 bottom: 0 ft at 650 ft.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Bivongi) out to sea, heading east.

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.
