Tides

Tides in Montepaone Lido

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. 3 h 47 min to high tide at 4:56 am.

In Montepaone Lido 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), 40 mi from Montepaone Lido. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Montepaone Lido

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.7 ft · 5.7 s from the northeast (50°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 4.8 s from the northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph NW · gusts 10
Offshore (11 mi E)Offshore 9 mph NNW · gusts 15

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.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).

Water temperature

Water now73.8 °F
Today 73.6–73.8 °F air: 57 / 71 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 71.6 °F measured 0.4 mi away

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 (+3.6 °F).

The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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

In Montepaone Lido 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
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:51–7:51 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 950 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,250 ft.

From the shoreline (600 ft from Montepaone Lido) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep850 ft
  • 33 ft deep950 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,250 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 950 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 950 ft and 66 ft at 1,050 ft from shore.
