- Water at 59 °F (very cold)
Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.
Today, hour by hour
- Swimming Dangerous · 10 ft
10 ft waves every 12 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.
- Water 59 °F
Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.
- Sun & sunscreen UV 2 · SPF 15
Max UV 2 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.
- Wind 10 mph
Offshore breeze (10 mph). Watch floats and inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.
- Tide & sand 10:55 am
Low tide at 10:55 am and 11:12 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 4:43 am and 5:08 pm. Coefficient 100 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.
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

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Oia has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Vigo (TICON-4), 18 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Oia
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common4.0 ft
- Significant8.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest16 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 11 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west-northwest (rough).

Surf in Oia today
Surf today
Good- 6.0–9.3 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (9.3 ft): for experienced surfers
- 8.5 ft swell at 10 s from the west-northwest, average
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 5:08 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:34 am · sunrise 8:03 am · sunset 6:35 pm · last light 7:04 pm
- Tide: high 4:43 am (12.1 ft), low 10:55 am (1.5 ft), high 5:08 pm (11.8 ft) and low 11:12 pm (1.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 58.3 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 1,359 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf.
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.
Diving in Oia today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (10:55 am): little current from 10:40 am to 11:10 am
- 9.1 ft swell at 10 s from the west-northwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.1 mph current toward the north, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 4:43 am (4:20–5:00 am), low tide 10:55 am (10:40–11:10 am), high tide 5:08 pm (4:50–5:30 pm) and low tide 11:12 pm (10:50–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 11 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.3 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:04 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:54 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:33–11:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:24–8:24 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,150 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.45 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 mi from shore.
