Tides in Cala de Binidalí
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:55 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:27 am 1.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 25 min to high tide at 10:27 am.
In Cala de Binidalí 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 de Binidalí
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.6 ft
- Significant1.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north (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 71.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.3 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:41–11:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:38–8:38 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 270 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.75 mi.
From the shoreline (700 ft from Cala de Binidalí) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep180 ft
- 33 ft deep270 ft
- 66 ft deep750 ft
- 164 ft deep0.75 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 43 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 270 ft and 66 ft at 750 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
