Tides

Tides in Spiaggia delle Bombarde

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 4:58 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:02 pm 0.4 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:43 pm 0.8 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 58 min to high tide at 11:12 am.

In Spiaggia delle Bombarde 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 26 (1.0 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 Porto Torres station (TICON-4), 19 mi from Spiaggia delle Bombarde. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Spiaggia delle Bombarde

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.4 ft · 5.8 s from the west-northwest (299°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 4.8 s from the west-northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.2 ft
  • Significant2.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NE · gusts 11
Offshore (5.8 mi S)Offshore 4 mph NE · gusts 7

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.

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 69.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.0 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:25 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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 light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

  • 10:28–11:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:18–8:18 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 750 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.5 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep360 ft
  • 33 ft deep750 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.8 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 750 ft and 66 ft at 0.8 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
