Tides

Tides in Villa San Pietro

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 11:07 am 1.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:18 pm 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 11:02 pm 0.8 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 1 h 12 min to low tide at 4:22 am.

In Villa San Pietro 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), 14 mi from Villa San Pietro. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Villa San Pietro

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.7 ft · 4.8 s from the east (85°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 4.1 s from the east
Current 0.1 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNE · gusts 5
Offshore (14 mi E)Offshore 8 mph N · gusts 11

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.1 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

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 71.6 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.7 °F).

The best window, 6:21 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:18–11:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:22–8:22 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 slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 1,200 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline (2.1 mi from Villa San Pietro) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.5 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
