Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Port-Launay station (REFMAR (Vigicrues)), 3.3 mi from Dinéault. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Dinéault
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 Thursday 29: 3.1 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 55.7 °F by Wednesday 4.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:43–4:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:15–5:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:58 am–12:58 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:32–8:32 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 490 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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 490 ft. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 490 ft out.
