Tides in Alcúdia
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 2:55 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:27 am 1.2 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 9 min to low tide at 2:55 am.
In Alcúdia the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 October 4 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (0.0 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The sea at Alcúdia
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Monday 2: 6.4 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
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 71.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Alcúdia today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.2 ft swell at 4 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Light: First light 6:45 am · sunrise 7:13 am · sunset 5:49 pm · last light 6:17 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 73.2 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 18 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with a short-period swell.
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 Alcúdia today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.2 ft swell at 4 s from the north-northeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (4 mph)
- 0.5 mph current toward the east-northeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 3.0 ft at 4 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.2 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:17 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:13 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with light wind, though with current.
In Alcúdia the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Alcúdia
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:12–4:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:45–4:45 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:46–11:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:43–8:43 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.

- 66 ft deep2.3 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
