Tides in L'Ampolla
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:25 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ High tide 9:37 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 4:39 pm 0.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:25 pm 0.9 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 5 min to low tide at 2:55 am.
In L'Ampolla the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 October 4 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 2 (0.0 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 L'Ampolla
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east (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 70.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:19–3:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:50–3:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:48–10:48 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:49–7:49 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 0.3 mi): 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
