Tides in Malgrat de Mar
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Next low tide 3:50 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:13 am 1.3 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:49 pm 0.8 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:49 pm 1.0 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 0 min to low tide at 3:50 am.
In Malgrat de Mar the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 November 27 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (0.1 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)

The sea at Malgrat de Mar
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.3 °F).

The moon in Malgrat de Mar
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:14–4:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:46–4:46 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:55–11:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:37–8:37 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 650 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.
From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Malgrat de Mar) out to sea, heading southeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep420 ft
- 33 ft deep650 ft
- 66 ft deep0.45 mi
- 164 ft deep1.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 7.5 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 650 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
