- ▼ Low tide 3:11 am 0.6 ft

In Platja de la Vall 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 Platja de la Vall
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.6 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 67.1 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.1 °F).

The moon in Platja de la Vall
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:40–3:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:43–10:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:32–7:32 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 quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 900 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.2 mi.
From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep160 ft
- 33 ft deep900 ft
- 66 ft deep0.45 mi
- 164 ft deep1.2 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 17 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 900 ft and 66 ft at 0.45 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
