Where this tide comes from
Alcoy has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.9 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Alcoy
Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 0.4 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-southeast (smooth).
Water temperature

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:49–2:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:21–3:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:56–8:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:47–8:47 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 800 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 800 ft and 66 ft at 1,250 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
