Tides in Platja de Pixavaques
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 2:55 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:27 am 1.2 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 8 min to high tide at 10:27 am.
In Platja de Pixavaques 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)

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:22–4:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:54–4:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:00 am–12:00 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:48–8:48 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.
