The best window, 1:20 am to 3:20 am, lines up with a major period. Also worth a try from 1:50 pm to 3:50 pm, with a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: white seabream, common two-banded seabream, annular seabream and pearly razorfish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: common two-banded seabream and annular seabream. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Es Cubells

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 2:25 am 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:37 am 1.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:39 pm 0.9 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:25 pm 0.9 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 4 min to low tide at 2:55 am.

In Es Cubells 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)

No significant tide

Tides from the Palma station (TICON-4), 87 mi from Es Cubells. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Es Cubells

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.6 ft · 4.3 s from the east-northeast (73°)
Swell 1.4 ft · 3.6 s from the east
Current 0.6 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph SE · gusts 6
Offshore (8.3 mi N)Offshore 2 mph E · gusts 5

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

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 east-northeast (slight).

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 71.9 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.8 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

In Es Cubells the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:16–3:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:48–3:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:38–10:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:54–7:54 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,250 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.95 mi.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Es Cubells) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep550 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.95 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 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 1,250 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.

Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
