Tides

Tides in Sampieri

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:01 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 4:34 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:35 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 7 min to high tide at 4:32 am.

In Sampieri the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 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 November 24 (0.9 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (-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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Catania station (TICON-4), 57 mi from Sampieri. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Sampieri

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.7 ft · 4.2 s from the west-northwest (295°)
Swell 1.3 ft · 3.5 s from the west
Current 0.1 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph NE · gusts 13
Offshore (15 mi S)Offshore 12 mph ESE · gusts 17

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.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 7.2 ft with a period of 7 s, from the west (moderate).

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 71.5 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:00 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, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Sampieri 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
  • 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:56–3:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:06–8:06 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 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi.

From the shoreline (800 ft from Sampieri) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.7 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 0.35 mi): 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
