Tides

Tides in Alupka

Today's high and low tides

In Alupka the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.0 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.

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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.5 mi from Alupka. 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).

Sea and waves

Waves 2.5 ft · 4.4 s from the east (87°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.5 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with 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.

The best window, 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Alupka 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
  • 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:35–4:35 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:57–11:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:13–8:13 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 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Alupka) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 0.35 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).
