Tides

Tides in Cariati

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. 2 h 28 min to high tide at 4:56 am.

In Cariati 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), 30 mi from Cariati. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Cariati

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.2 ft · 3.8 s from the north (359°)
Swell 1.8 ft · 3.5 s from the north
Current 0.3 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.2 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph WNW · gusts 11
Offshore (2.4 mi E)Offshore 11 mph NW · gusts 19

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

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 68.4 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.7 °F).

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 Cariati 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
  • 1:14–3:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:47–3:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:47–10:47 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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 0.65 mi from shore.
