Where this tide comes from
Carini has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Palermo (TICON-4), 10 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Surf in Carini today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.0 ft swell at 4 s from the northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (high tide at 10:26 pm)
- Light: First light 6:02 am · sunrise 6:29 am · sunset 5:13 pm · last light 5:40 pm
- Tide: low 3:50 am (0.1 ft), high 10:21 am (1.3 ft), low 4:11 pm (0.3 ft) and high 10:26 pm (1.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 71.6 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 10 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:40 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, though with 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, 9:40 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:27–2:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:58–2:58 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:45–9:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:07–7:07 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.
