↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 50 min to low tide at 4:39 am.
Tide coefficient 94 for the 10:11 am high tide and 86 for the 11:47 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.4 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 October 26 (3.2 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-1.0 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 26 (coefficient 109, 3.6 ft range). The smallest, on October 3 (coefficient 20, 1.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Venice has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Venezia (TICON-4), 4.7 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 sea at Venice
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.1 ft
- Significant0.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 3.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (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 65.8 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.6 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:14 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.
Diving in Venice today
Diving and snorkeling today

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 11:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:30 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Venice
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:02–3:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:19–10:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:40–6:40 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 750 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Venice) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep500 ft
- 33 ft deep750 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 1.7 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 750 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. 33 ft deep 750 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.7 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.7 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
