Tides in Cagliari
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:45 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:18 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:22 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:17 pm 0.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 29 min to low tide at 4:22 am.
In Cagliari the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 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 (1.1 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (-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

The sea at Cagliari
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.1 ft with a period of 2 s, from the north-northwest (smooth).
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 69.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

The moon in Cagliari
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:06–10:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:20–7:20 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.

Water depth

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep2.5 mi
- 33 ft deep3 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 2.5 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
