Tides in Akpınar
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:34 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Next low tide 11:31 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ High tide 4:32 pm 0.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 11:16 pm -0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 4 h 39 min to low tide at 11:31 am.
In Akpınar the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.3 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 July 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-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), 1.4 mi from Akpınar. 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 Akpınar
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 7.0 ft with a period of 6 s, from the north (moderate).
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 (+1.9 °F).

Surf in Akpınar today
Surf today
Poor- 3.6–5.5 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 0.8 ft swell at 5 s from the north-northeast, short: weak, messy waves
- 5.7 ft wind swell at 5 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (12 mph): a bit of chop
- Light: First light 7:04 am · sunrise 7:32 am · sunset 6:04 pm · last light 6:33 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 64.6 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 146 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 6:33 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind. 7:04 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell, onshore wind and thunderstorms.
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.
Diving in Akpınar today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 2.2 ft swell at 4 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (10 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south-southeast, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here

- Water at 64.6 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:33 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:19 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:30 am, combines light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with waves.
In Akpınar 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 Akpınar
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:25–4:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:57–4:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:04 am–12:04 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 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.

- 66 ft deep0.95 mi
- 164 ft deep2.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): 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 0.45 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.
