  • Swimming Use care · 4.0 ft

    4.0 ft waves every 10 s: swim with care and stay where you can stand. 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.

The water rises and falls 13.8 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:40 am to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:20 pm to 6:00 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some 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.

  • 2:44–4:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:59 am–12:59 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:34–8:34 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

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 380 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1.5 mi from Beuzec-Cap-Sizun) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep280 ft
  • 33 ft deep380 ft
  • 66 ft deep950 ft
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 24 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 380 ft and 66 ft at 950 ft from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
