↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 44 min to low tide at 4:52 pm.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 11:00 am high tide and 80 for the 11:03 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.1 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 September 10 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 101, 1.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 28, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Ventotene has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ponza (TICON-4), 25 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:00 pm to 5:10 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- 1:29–3:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:01–4:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:56–7:56 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.
