Tides in Anamur

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 12:11 am 1.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 12:59 pm 0.8 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:26 pm 0.5 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 16 min to low tide at 7:04 am.

In Anamur the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.0 ft).

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Antalya station (TICON-4), 134 mi from Anamur. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Anamur

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.3 ft · 4.4 s from the south-southwest (203°)
Swell 1.0 ft · 4.5 s from the southwest
Current 0.5 mph toward the WSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 3 mph NW · gusts 7

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 2.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southwest (slight).

Water now77.9 °F
Today 77.4–77.9 °F air: 58 / 67 °F

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 (+2.4 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, has glassy water, 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, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Anamur the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:40–4:40 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:27–11:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:53–8:53 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 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.9 mi.

From the shoreline (1.7 mi from Anamur) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 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).
