Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:10 am to 4:10 am, lines up with a major period. Also good from 2:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with a major period and sunset. Also good from 6:50 am to 7:50 am, with sunrise.

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

Tides

Tides in Magaluf

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:27 am 1.2 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 7 min to low tide at 2:55 am.

In Magaluf 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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Palma station (TICON-4), 6.2 mi from Magaluf. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Magaluf

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 0.7 ft · 3.5 s from the north-northwest (335°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 3.1 s from the northwest
Current 0.3 mph toward the WNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.3 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph N · gusts 6
Offshore (2.0 mi WSW)Offshore 2 mph ENE · gusts 6

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the 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 72.0 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.9 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Magaluf 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:15–4:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:47–4:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:47–11:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:47–8:47 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 650 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (1,250 ft from Magaluf) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep650 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 650 ft): 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 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.5 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
