Tides

Tides in Cabras

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:23 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:29 pm 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:16 pm 0.7 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 43 min to high tide at 10:50 am.

In Cabras the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 September 10 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (-0.4 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 Carloforte station (TICON-4), 55 mi from Cabras. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Cabras

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.6 ft · 6.0 s from the west-northwest (300°)
Swell 1.6 ft · 5.0 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph ESE · gusts 9
Offshore (12 mi S)Offshore 2 mph ESE · gusts 7

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the west-northwest (slight).

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 67.4 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.4 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Cabras 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
  • 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:22–4:22 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:24–11:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:20–8:20 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.
