Low water phenomenon today in Arillas beach

Arillas winter low tide

Low atmospheric pressure, the moon face and strong southeast winds have caused the sea level to drop by as much as 30cm in western ionian sea.Which is visible today at our beach.
Our ancestors have always point out that this is a periodic phenomenon, usually occurring in early spring or winter, adding that there is no cause for concern. Sea levels usually return to normal after eight to 10 days. Local fishermen still call it ''Λιγονεριά'' (ligoneria) which means: smaller amount of water in the sea.
