↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 54 min to low tide at 9:37 am.

In Gioia Tauro the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 26 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on March 3 (-0.4 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 Messina station (TICON-4), 24 mi from Gioia Tauro. Times and heights are its predictions.

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

In Gioia Tauro the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
