Tides

Tides in Platja de Salada

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 2:55 am 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 10:27 am 1.2 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 15 h 26 min to low tide at 3:28 am.

In Platja de Salada 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), 81 mi from Platja de Salada. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Platja de Salada

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 0.9 ft · 5.1 s from the northeast (38°)
Swell 0.7 ft · 4.6 s from the northeast
Current 0.8 mph toward the NE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph SW · gusts 11
Offshore (2.7 mi WSW)Offshore 9 mph SSW · gusts 13

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

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 71.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.6 °F).

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, 9:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.

In Platja de Salada 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: medium
  • 2:20–4:20 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
  • 7:54–8:54 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 80 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.25 mi.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Platja de Salada) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep40 ft
  • 33 ft deep80 ft
  • 66 ft deep150 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.25 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 100 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 80 ft and 66 ft at 150 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
