Tides

Tides in Playa Mondrago

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. 4 h 0 min to low tide at 2:55 am.

In Playa Mondrago 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), 32 mi from Playa Mondrago. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Playa Mondrago

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.7 ft · 4.1 s from the northeast (49°)
Swell 1.4 ft · 3.7 s from the northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph NNW · gusts 7
Offshore (7.8 mi SSE)Offshore 9 mph NNE · gusts 14

Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast 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 stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 3.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Water now73.8 °F
Today 73.8–73.9 °F air: 61 / 70 °F

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 72.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.3 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 9:32–10:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:44–7:44 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 0.3 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.

From the shoreline (800 ft from Playa Mondrago) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep700 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.3 mi 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 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.
