Tides in Demre
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:11 am 1.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 7:04 am 0.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 12:59 pm 0.8 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:26 pm 0.5 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 38 min to low tide at 7:04 am.
In Demre the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 August 13 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (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 Demre
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.8 ft with a period of 5 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Demre today
Surf today
Poor- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 5 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 6:53 am · sunrise 7:20 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:34 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 77.0 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, though with a short-period swell.
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.

- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here

- Water at 77.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:34 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:34 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:20 am to 8:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, with light wind and the sun high, though with current.
In Demre 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.

The moon in Demre
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:20–4:20 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:52–4:52 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:39–11:39 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:04–9:04 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
