Tides

Tides in Kamma

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 6:08 am 0.7 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:51 am 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 11:12 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 49 min to high tide at 4:48 pm.

In Kamma the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 October 26 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on February 16 (-0.2 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 Sciacca station (TICON-4), 64 mi from Kamma. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Kamma

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.0 ft · 3.3 s from the north-northwest (337°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 3.4 s from the northwest
Current 0.2 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph NNW · gusts 19

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Cross-shore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).

Water temperature

Water now73.2 °F
Today 72.7–73.2 °F air: 67 / 71 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 70.0 °F measured 0.8 mi away

The satellite measured 3.2 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

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 69.5 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:06 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Kamma 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: medium
  • 1:35–3:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:07–4:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:57–10:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:17–8:17 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 250 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 600 ft.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Kamma) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep200 ft
  • 33 ft deep250 ft
  • 66 ft deep330 ft
  • 164 ft deep600 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 66 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 250 ft and 66 ft at 330 ft from shore.

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