Tides

Tides in Villapiana Lido

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:57 am 0.9 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:05 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:59 pm 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 6 h 1 min to low tide at 11:32 am.

In Villapiana 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 (1.0 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

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Villapiana Lido

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.8 ft · 2.5 s from the north (349°)
Wind waves — —
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

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.

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 small waves, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:49–3:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:50–10:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:47–7:47 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 1,200 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.1 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Villapiana Lido) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.1 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): 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. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
