Tides in Ochakiv

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 5:24 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:51 am -0.1 ft
  • ▲ High tide 5:25 pm 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:56 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 53 min to high tide at 5:48 am.

In Ochakiv 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 May 2 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on October 22 (-0.2 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

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.2 mi from Ochakiv. 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

The sea at Ochakiv

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.0 ft · 2.9 s from the east (80°)
Swell 0.5 ft · 2.8 s from the east-southeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the SW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft
  • Significant1.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.3 ft.

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.

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, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Ochakiv 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: high
  • 12:10–2:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:41–2:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:03–10:03 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:15–6:15 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 26 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Ochakiv) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.95 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.95 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

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.
