Tide coefficient 88 for the 6:55 am high tide and 84 for the 7:25 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 10.9 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. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 26 (13.4 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (0.5 ft).

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

Where this tide comes from

Tides from the Larmor-Baden station (REFMAR (Golfe du Morbihan ‑ Vannes Agglomération)), 2.5 mi from Locmariaquer. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

The sea at Locmariaquer

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.7 ft · 9.7 s from the west (264°)
Swell 3.5 ft · 9.0 s from the west
Current 0.9 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.9 ft
  • Significant3.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph E · gusts 16
Offshore (5.4 mi SSW)Offshore 15 mph E · gusts 20

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water colder than normal for late October (−2.7 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:50 pm to 2:20 pm, combines 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.

  • 2:38–4:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:49 am–12:49 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:30–8:30 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 2.9 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Locmariaquer) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.9 mi
  • 33 ft deep2.9 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 1.9 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 2.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
