Tides in Cala Boix
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 8 min to low tide at 2:55 am.
In Cala Boix 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 Cala Boix
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.9 ft
- Significant1.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the 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: 3.5 ft with a period of 5 s, from the 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 71.8 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:19–4:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:51–4:51 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:49–11:49 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:52–8:52 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 460 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.35 mi.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep390 ft
- 33 ft deep460 ft
- 66 ft deep550 ft
- 164 ft deep0.35 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 460 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 460 ft and 66 ft at 550 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
