Tide coefficient 85 for the 11:13 am high tide and 80 for the 11:14 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on August 13 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on December 25 (-0.8 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level
Tide coefficient and range in October

Where this tide comes from
Pizzo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Pizzo
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west (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 70.4 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.6 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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, 10:20 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:18–3:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:53–7:53 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. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi 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 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
