Tides

Tides in Çayaltı

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 4:19 am 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 9:55 am 0.0 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:17 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 31 min to high tide at 3:26 pm.

In Çayaltı the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 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 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 17 (-0.1 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 3.6 mi from Çayaltı. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

Sea and waves

The sea at Çayaltı

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.3 ft · 4.4 s from the north (11°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 3.6 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.4 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph NNW · gusts 5
Offshore (14 mi NNE)Offshore 1 mph WSW · gusts 6

Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

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 65.1 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.4 °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, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Çayaltı 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
  • 2:09–4:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:41–4:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:51–11:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:31–8:31 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 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Çayaltı) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.65 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).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
