Messina Strait Currents

Messina Strait Currents provides tidal current predictions for the Strait of Messina, helping sailors, boaters and anyone navigating the Strait understand expected current conditions and plan their passage. Based on official harmonic constants, the app calculates the expected direction and intensity of tidal currents at the two main reference points of the Strait of Messina: Punta Pezzo and Ganzirri. Predictions are also available for secondary areas throughout the Strait. Explore current conditions at a glance View tidal current predictions directly on the map or use the graph to follow how current intensity and direction change over time. This makes it easier to identify trends and examine the expected conditions for a selected date and time. Tidal current information • Current direction and intensity • Punta Pezzo and Ganzirri reference points • Secondary locations throughout the Strait • Map-based visualization • Graph of current trends • Date and time selection Sun and Moon information The app also provides astronomical information for the selected date: • Sunrise and sunset times • Moonrise and moonset times • Moon phase • Illuminated portion of the Moon Tidal currents in the Strait of Messina can be very strong and may exceed 6 knots. Checking the expected current conditions can provide useful information when planning a passage through the Strait. Designed specifically for the Strait of Messina, Messina Strait Currents brings tidal current predictions, maps, graphs and astronomical information together in one dedicated app. Predictions are intended as an aid to planning and should not replace official navigational information, notices or appropriate seamanship. Messina Strait Currents is designed with accessibility in mind, with support for TalkBack and screen readers, scalable text, accessible controls, reduced motion settings and information that does not rely on color alone.
