Tides

Tides in Sidi Ameur

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 3:43 am 1.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 3:53 pm 0.9 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:21 pm 0.3 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 37 min to low tide at 10:17 am.

In Sidi Ameur the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 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 26 (1.2 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.3 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Lampedusa station (TICON-4), 108 mi from Sidi Ameur. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Sidi Ameur

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.0 ft · 4.4 s from the northeast (47°)
Swell 0.8 ft · 2.6 s from the northeast
Current 0.0 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph W · gusts 6
Offshore (17 mi N)Offshore 13 mph NW · gusts 18

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.2 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

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 73.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Sidi Ameur the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:41–3:41 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:13–4:13 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:58–10:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:27–8:27 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.4 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1.8 mi from Sidi Ameur) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.6 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.75 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 1.4 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
