Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:34 pm 0.3 ft · coef. 82
  • ▼ Low tide 6:16 pm -0.4 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 48 min to low tide at 6:37 am.

Tide coefficient 82 for the 12:34 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on April 18 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (-0.7 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 26 (coefficient 110, 1.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 20, 0.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Kapısuyu has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model 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.

Sea and waves

The sea at Kapısuyu

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.1 ft · 6.1 s from the west-southwest (254°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.6 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest2.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 7 mph NE · gusts 13

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

The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves and 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:30 am to 7:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 4:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:14–11:14 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:40–8:40 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 0.45 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.8 mi.

From the shoreline (1.3 mi from Kapısuyu) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (0.95 mi): for deeper dives, 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).

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.
