Tides in Propriano
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 4:21 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:27 am 1.5 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.9 ft
- ▲ High tide 10:04 pm 1.3 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 51 min to high tide at 10:27 am.
In Propriano the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on September 26 (1.5 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (0.1 ft).
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)

The sea at Propriano
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 3.0 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
Water temperature

The moon in Propriano
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:30–11:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:11–8:11 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
Gentle slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 480 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. Right off the beach it already drops to about 15 ft. It reaches 164 ft at 1.3 mi.
From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Propriano) out to sea, heading west.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep480 ft
- 33 ft deep0.7 mi
- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep1.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 15 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 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.
