Tides in Linosa
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 3:43 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 10:17 am 0.4 ft
- ▲ High tide 3:53 pm 0.9 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:21 pm 0.3 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 32 min to low tide at 10:17 am.
In Linosa the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.3 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

The sea at Linosa
Sea stateSea state: smooth
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 south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 6.0 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 72.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

The moon in Linosa
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:31–3:31 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:50–10:50 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 900 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 900 ft and 66 ft at 1,050 ft from shore.
