Tides in Küçükçekmece
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:27 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ High tide 11:54 am 0.1 ft
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 16 h 43 min to low tide at 4:44 am.
In Küçükçekmece 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 June 30 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on March 31 (-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
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.7 mi from Küçükçekmece. 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).

The sea at Küçükçekmece
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Wednesday 4: 1.8 ft with a period of 3 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 63.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.0 °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.

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
- 11:03 am–12:03 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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 0.35 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 (1.4 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
