Tides in Capo Rizzuto
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:15 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:29 am 0.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:10 pm 0.7 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:14 pm 0.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 59 min to high tide at 4:56 am.
In Capo Rizzuto 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 (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

The sea at Capo Rizzuto
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 70.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

Surf in Capo Rizzuto today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.8 ft swell at 6 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- 3.9 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 5:47 am · sunrise 6:14 am · sunset 4:56 pm · last light 5:23 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 71.4 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 68 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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.
Diving in Capo Rizzuto today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.2 ft swell at 5 s from the northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (17 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the southwest, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. The sea has been calm and there's been little rain. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 71.4 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:23 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 6:18 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, lines up with weak current, though with moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:10 am to 7:30 am, though with waves, moderate wind and current.
In Capo Rizzuto 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.

The moon in Capo Rizzuto
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:10–2:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:42–2:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:31–9:31 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:48–6:48 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
