Where this tide comes from
Le Palais has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Le Crouesty (TICON-4), 18 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Le Palais
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.2 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west (moderate).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:20 pm to 6:00 pm, lines up with weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 12:30 pm to 1:10 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:38–4:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:11–5:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:49 am–12:49 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.
