Tides

Tides in Cala del Vigatà

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 57 min to low tide at 3:50 am.

In Cala del Vigatà 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), 52 mi from Cala del Vigatà. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Cala del Vigatà

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.6 ft · 4.2 s from the northeast (45°)
Swell 1.4 ft · 3.8 s from the northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.8 ft
  • Significant1.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph N · gusts 10
Offshore (2.1 mi SW)Offshore 7 mph N · gusts 12

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.

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 68.5 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.2 °F).

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

  • 9:42–10:42 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:35–7:35 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 850 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.55 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep500 ft
  • 33 ft deep850 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.55 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 ft 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 850 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
