  • Water 73 °F

    Nice for swimming.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 14 · SPF 50

    Max UV 14 (extreme): SPF 50 sunscreen, reapplied every 2 hours. Seek shade 10:00 am–3:00 pm (very high UV).

  • Wind 15 mph

    Moderate offshore wind (15 mph). Skip the inflatables: offshore wind carries them out to sea.

  • Tide & sand 6:29 pm

    Low tide at 6:51 am and 6:29 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 12:06 am and 1:11 pm. Coefficient 104 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The best window, 7:00 am to 12:00 pm, brings sunshine, beach weather, a calm sea, water at 73 °F and low tide at 6:51 am, though with light offshore wind and very high UV. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with sunshine, pleasant temperatures, a calm sea, water at 74 °F and low tide at 6:29 pm, though with moderate offshore wind.

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 6:51 am 0.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:29 pm 2.5 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 29 min to high tide at 1:11 pm.

Tide coefficient 104 for the 12:06 am high tide and 102 for the 1:11 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 8.3 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 April 20 (9.5 ft) and the lowest, on October 28 (0.2 ft).

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

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 27 to 29 (coefficient 104, 8.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 21 (coefficient 21, 1.9 ft).

Sea and waves

The sea at Exmouth

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: calm (rippled)

Calm (rippled) Douglas 1 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.3 ft · 3.2 s from the west-northwest (300°)

Current 1.0 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph WSW · gusts 17
Offshore (9.6 mi ESE)Offshore 4 mph SSW · gusts 9

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 6:00 am to 7:20 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 1:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with 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: medium
  • 1:28–3:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 7:24–8:24 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:39–10:39 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1.2 mi from Exmouth) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.75 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 66 ft deep3 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 7.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.2 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).

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