Where this tide comes from
St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 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.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the west-southwest (moderate).

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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,704 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:45–4:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:17–5:17 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:56 am–12:56 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:38–8:38 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.
