Tides in Karasu
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 5:02 am 0.1 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:55 am 0.0 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 4:06 pm 0.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 10:48 pm -0.1 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 22 min to high tide at 4:06 pm.
In Karasu 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 August 12 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on November 24 (-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), 1.9 mi from Karasu. 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 Karasu
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces north 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 build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 4.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the northwest (moderate).
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 64.3 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

Surf in Karasu today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.8 ft swell at 4 s from the north, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Light: First light 6:56 am · sunrise 7:24 am · sunset 5:57 pm · last light 6:25 pm
- Tide: We don’t have a reliable tide to show here.
- Water at 65.8 °F: a 3/2 fullsuit.
- Energy: 9 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with 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.
Diving in Karasu today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.6 ft swell at 3 s from the north: barely any surge
- Almost no wind
- 0.4 mph current toward the east-southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: none; the tide doesn't count here
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 4.1 ft at 5 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 65.8 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:25 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 8:12 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current.
In Karasu 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 Karasu
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:49–4:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:56–11:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:42–8:42 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.

- 33 ft deep1.3 mi
- 66 ft deep2 mi
- 164 ft deep2.6 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.7 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 1.3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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.
