Tides in Calasetta
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:23 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:50 am 1.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:29 pm 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:16 pm 0.7 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 26 min to high tide at 10:50 am.
In Calasetta 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

The sea at Calasetta
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
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 71.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:23 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 2:00 pm to 5:57 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:50–3:50 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:21–11:21 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:24–8:24 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 170 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.65 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 23 ft.
From the shoreline (0.5 mi from Calasetta) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep170 ft
- 33 ft deep0.65 mi
- 66 ft deep1.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 23 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.65 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
