Tides in Keşap
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 6:33 am -0.2 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 1:00 pm 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 6:20 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 1 min to high tide at 1:00 pm.
In Keşap the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 November 26 (-0.2 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
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.6 mi from Keşap. 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Keşap
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 1.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northeast (smooth).
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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:25 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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, 9:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Keşap the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Keşap
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:17–4:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:22–11:22 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:10–8:10 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. 33 ft of water just 1,100 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 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.
