Tides in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 4:11 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:41 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:18 pm 0.7 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:22 pm 0.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 5 min to low tide at 11:41 am.
In Marina di Gioiosa Ionica 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 (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

The sea at Marina di Gioiosa Ionica
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.7 ft
- Significant1.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.8 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
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 72.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Surf in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica today
Surf today
Poor- 0.8–1.3 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.3 ft swell at 5 s from the east-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 5:50 am · sunrise 6:18 am · sunset 4:59 pm · last light 5:26 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 73.9 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 7 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 small waves and 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.

The moon in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:17–3:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:44–10:44 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:54–7:54 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 190 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 500 ft.
From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Marina di Gioiosa Ionica) out to sea, heading southeast.

- 33 ft deep190 ft
- 66 ft deep290 ft
- 164 ft deep500 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 79 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 190 ft and 66 ft at 290 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
