Tides in Platja de Benirras
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 0 min to low tide at 2:55 am.
In Platja de Benirras 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)

- Most commonMost common0.9 ft

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

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.8 ft with a period of 7 s, from the 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 71.2 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.6 °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
- 2:52–4:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:50–11:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:53–8:53 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 220 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.6 mi.
From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Platja de Benirras) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep160 ft
- 33 ft deep220 ft
- 66 ft deep320 ft
- 164 ft deep0.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 68 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 220 ft and 66 ft at 320 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
