Tides in Salacak
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:34 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 12:02 pm 0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 26 min to high tide at 12:02 pm.
In Salacak 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 December 24 (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), 1.2 mi from Salacak. 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 Salacak
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 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: 1.9 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 is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.3 °F).

The best window, 7:03 am to 11:00 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, 7:30 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with current.
In Salacak the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:24–4:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:56–4:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:02 am–12:02 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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 0.65 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.75 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
