The best window, 2:50 am to 4:10 am, combines the 3:48 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:00 am to 1:40 am, with the 12:37 am high tide, though with rising pressure.

  • Mostly sunny
  • UV 6 (high): SPF 50 sunscreen
  • Low tide at 6:26 pm: more sand
  • Feels like 52 °F: chilly for the beach
  • Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): it blows floats and inflatables out to sea
  • Dangerous for swimming: 7.2 ft waves every 12 s; high rip current risk

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 7.2 ft

    7.2 ft waves every 12 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 58 °F

    Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 6 · SPF 50

    Max UV 6 (high): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours.

  • Wind 20 mph

    Fresh offshore wind (20 mph): blowing sand. Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 6:26 pm

    Low tide at 3:48 am and 6:26 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 12:37 am and 10:26 am. Coefficient 109 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

Tide coefficient 105 for the 12:37 am high tide and 109 for the 10:26 am high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Adventure Bay has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.0 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model 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). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Adventure Bay

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 6.7 ft · 11.4 s from the south-southwest (208°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common3.3 ft
  • Significant6.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest13 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 20 mph W · gusts 32

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

The best window, 5:27 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind.

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, 6:00 pm to 6:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:42–4:42 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:54–7:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 11:34 pm–12:34 am 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.45 mi from Adventure Bay) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.65 mi
  • 33 ft deep1 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.65 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
