What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (21.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (1.3 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Marzan has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Montoir-de-Bretagne (TICON-4), 19 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 Marzan
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.0 ft with a period of 10 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 1:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, 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.

The moon in Marzan
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:35–4:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:07–5:07 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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

- 33 ft deepnot within 650 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 650 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 650 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 650 ft. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 650 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) 650 ft out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
