Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 15 ft

    15 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.

  • Tide & sand 7:40 pm

    Low tide at 9:55 am and 7:40 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 3:05 am and 12:22 pm. Coefficient 101 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

Tide coefficient 101 for the 3:05 am high tide and 101 for the 12:22 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 3.4 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?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 26 (1.8 ft) and the lowest, on May 20 (-1.9 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

M · Global model

Granville Harbour has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.8 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 waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common6.6 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest26 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 26 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 26 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph W · gusts 27
Offshore (13 mi S)Offshore 18 mph WNW · gusts 26

Onshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

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, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 7:10 pm to 8:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.

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: medium
  • 2:19–4:19 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:10–8:10 am Minor · moonset · 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 750 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Granville Harbour) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep360 ft
  • 33 ft deep750 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.4 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 750 ft and 66 ft at 0.3 mi from shore.

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

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
