Tide coefficient 94 for the 8:37 am high tide and 89 for the 9:02 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 32.1 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.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 21 (38.4 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (2.2 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Sea and waves

Waves 1.0 ft · 8.1 s from the west-northwest (298°)

The waves you may find

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 ft.

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:20 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.

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, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 8:00 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:37–4:37 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:09–5:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:55 am–12:55 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:24–8:24 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

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 0 ft deep.

From the shoreline (0.65 mi from Binic) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.6 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
