The city officially classifies three levels: <em>marea sostenuta<\/em> 80\u2013110 cm, <em>marea molto sostenuta<\/em> 110\u2013140 cm, <em>alta marea eccezionale<\/em> from 140 cm. Since MOSE became operational in 2020, extreme floods have become rarer. What matters for travellers: check the current level and the 24-hour forecast, choose your hotel location with low-lying areas (around St Mark&#8217;s Square) in mind, and pack waterproof shoes when levels above 100 cm are forecast.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live water levels in the lagoon now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 14 ICPSM stations measure the water level every 5 minutes \u2014 from Punta Salute at the entrance to the Grand Canal to the offshore platform 15 km off the Lido. If the <strong>Adriatic platform outside<\/strong> reads clearly higher than the <strong>lagoon stations inside<\/strong>, a storm surge is rolling in. Readings above 110 cm at Punta Salute = official acqua alta level, from 140 cm <em>marea eccezionale<\/em>. <strong>Rule of thumb for travellers:<\/strong> from around <strong>80 cm<\/strong> the lowest parts of St Mark&#8217;s Square get wet, from around <strong>110 cm<\/strong> it becomes noticeable (MOSE threshold, raised walkways, possible vaporetto diversions). For visitors, the official reference station <strong>Punta della Salute<\/strong> is what counts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tv-tide-wrap\" style=\"overflow-x:auto;margin:16px 0\"><table class=\"tv-tide-table tv-decision-matrix\"><caption class=\"tv-tide-caption\" style=\"caption-side:top;text-align:left;padding:8px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1a4d6e\">Live water levels at 14 stations in the Venice lagoon<\/caption><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Station<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Level<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Status<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Updated<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr class=\"tv-tide-row tv-tide-row--normal\"><td data-label=\"Station\" class=\"tv-tide-cell-station\"><strong style=\"display:block\">Punta della Salute (Grand Canal)<\/strong><span class=\"tv-tide-desc\" style=\"display:block;margin-top:3px;font-size:0.85rem;color:#5e5848;line-height:1.4\">Official reference station for the lagoon water level.
