Tides

Tides in Playa del Callao

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:11 am 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:26 am 1.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:43 pm 0.7 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:10 pm 1.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 56 min to low tide at 3:50 am.

In Playa del Callao 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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Port-Vendres station (TICON-4), 76 mi from Playa del Callao. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Playa del Callao

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.4 ft · 3.9 s from the east (79°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 3.2 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.1 mph toward the N

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph ESE · gusts 10
Offshore (3.5 mi SE)Offshore 10 mph SE · gusts 13

Onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

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.

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.

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 Playa del Callao 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: high
  • 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:43–10:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:39–7:39 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 460 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 11 ft.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep460 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 11 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

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