The water rises and falls 1.1 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 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on February 19 (-0.3 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 102, 1.1 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 29, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Piombino has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Marina di Campo (TICON-4), 19 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Piombino

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.5 ft · 4.0 s from the northwest (311°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 3.4 s from the northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NNE · gusts 6
Offshore (5.3 mi NNW)Offshore 3 mph ENE · gusts 6

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:18 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water, 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, 9:20 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 5:00 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:15–10:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:59–6:59 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,050 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Piombino) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep360 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,050 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 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 1,050 ft and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.

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