Tides

Tides in Platja de Xeraco

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 10:36 pm 0.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 13 h 8 min to high tide at 1:56 pm.

In Platja de Xeraco the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.4 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 29 (1.0 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (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)

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Platja de Xeraco

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.1 ft · 4.0 s from the east-northeast (72°)
Swell 0.9 ft · 3.1 s from the northeast
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft
  • Significant1.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NNW · gusts 5
Offshore (11 mi ESE)Offshore 6 mph SW · gusts 9

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Platja de Xeraco 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: medium
  • 2:26–4:26 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:57–11:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:00–9:00 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 950 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep950 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 6.6 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
