Tides in Playa La Malvarrosa
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ Next high tide 1:56 pm 1.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:36 pm 0.6 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 9 h 4 min to high tide at 1:56 pm.
In Playa La Malvarrosa 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)

Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:27–4:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:59–4:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:59–11:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:59–8:59 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. About 8.9 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 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
