↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 9 min to high tide at 10:50 am.

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

In Portoscuso the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
