Tides

Tides in Sarroch

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 Sarroch 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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Cagliari station (TICON-4), 11 mi from Sarroch. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Sarroch

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.5 ft · 4.5 s from the east (85°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 3.8 s from the east
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph NNW · gusts 6
Offshore (14 mi ESE)Offshore 3 mph NE · gusts 9

Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Water now72.9 °F

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 71.9 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

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.

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 Sarroch 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: high
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:06–10:06 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:21–7:21 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,250 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (2.2 mi from Sarroch) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 66 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
