Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:22 am 0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:33 am 1.0 ft · coef. 86
- ▼ Low tide 5:23 pm 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:14 pm 0.8 ft · coef. 80
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 32 min to high tide at 10:33 am.
Tide coefficient 86 for the 10:33 am high tide and 80 for the 10:14 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 26 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (-0.3 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 27 (coefficient 104, 1.0 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 28, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Donoratico has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Livorno (TICON-4), 29 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 common0.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.3 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
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 68.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

The best window, 6:19 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, 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 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:29–11:29 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:57–7:57 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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 0.85 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
