Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:10 am to 3:10 am, lines up with a major period. Also worth a try from 1:40 pm to 3:40 pm, with a major period and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also good from 5:20 pm to 6:20 pm, with sunset.

The tide barely moves in Dellys, so it doesn't count in the rating.

Tides

Tides in Dellys

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 2:51 am -0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:57 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:42 pm 0.0 ft
  • ▲ High tide 8:39 pm 0.0 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 31 min to low tide at 3:20 am.

In Dellys the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.5 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 June 17 (0.4 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (-0.4 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), 1.3 mi from Dellys. 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 Dellys

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.0 ft · 5.0 s from the north (0°)

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Dellys 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
  • 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:37–3:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:20–10:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:50–7:50 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 850 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1,000 ft from Dellys) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep850 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 850 ft and 66 ft at 1,100 ft from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
