↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 47 min to low tide at 11:21 am.

In Costineşti the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 July 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on May 16 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 8:00 am to 9:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and wind swell.
