Tides in Sant'Antioco
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:43 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:04 am 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:32 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:38 pm 0.8 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 27 min to low tide at 4:23 am.
In Sant'Antioco 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 (1.0 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 Sant'Antioco
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.6 °F).

The moon in Sant'Antioco
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:47–2:47 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:18–3:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:08–10:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:23–7:23 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
Very shallowVery shallow and flat: even 1.2 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.
From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Sant'Antioco) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
- 33 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.2 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.2 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.2 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
