Poor beach day · 4 out of 10 9:00–11:00 am
  • Mostly sunny
  • Calm for swimming: 2.4 ft waves
  • Water at 69 °F (cool)
  • Feels like 65 °F: a bit cool
  • Light offshore wind (12 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Calm · 2.4 ft

    2.4 ft waves: calm for swimming. Low rip current risk. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 69 °F

    Cool: refreshing on a hot day.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 3 · SPF 30

    Max UV 3 (moderate): SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

  • Wind 15 mph

    Moderate offshore wind (15 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand

    Roses has almost no tide: the beach stays the same all day.

The best window, 9:00 am to 11:00 am, brings sunshine and a calm sea, though with cool air and light offshore wind.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

Tides

Tides in Roses

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. 6 h 0 min to low tide at 3:50 am.

In Roses 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), 18 mi from Roses. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Roses

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 2.3 ft · 3.9 s from the north (11°)
Swell 1.0 ft · 4.1 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 8 mph N · gusts 19
Offshore (3.8 mi ESE)Offshore 17 mph N · gusts 27

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.1 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northeast (moderate).

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 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, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current.

In Roses 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
  • 1:09–3:09 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
  • 6:33–7:33 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 490 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.5 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Roses) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep380 ft
  • 33 ft deep490 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.5 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 7.2 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 490 ft and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.

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