  • Sun & sunscreen UV 2 · SPF 15

    Max UV 2 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 52 min to low tide at 4:18 am.

Tide coefficient 85 for the 10:19 am high tide and 79 for the 10:00 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 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 October 28 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on March 3 (-0.4 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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 103, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 27, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Mele has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Genova (TICON-4), 9.1 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Mele

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.7 ft · 2.6 s from the east-northeast (78°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 3.4 s from the southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 14 mph N · gusts 25
Offshore (14 mi S)Offshore 13 mph N · gusts 18

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.1 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 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, 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 11:10 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.

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.

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
  • 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:43–11:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:58–7:58 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 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.7 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Mele) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 mi): 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 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).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
