  • ▲ High tide 10:00 pm 1.4 ft · coef. 80

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 34 min to low tide at 4:21 am.

Tide coefficient 86 for the 10:25 am high tide and 80 for the 10:00 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 0.9 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 August 13 (1.6 ft) and the lowest, on February 19 (0.1 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 25 to 27 (coefficient 102, 0.9 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 28, 0.5 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Saint-Florent has no station of its own, so we use the tide at L'Île-Rousse (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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Saint-Florent

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.8 ft · 4.8 s from the west-northwest (298°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 4.7 s from the northwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the W

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.6 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.6 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SSE · gusts 8

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm, with slack water at low 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:46–3:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:19–4:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:32–11:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:05–8:05 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.1 mi.

From the shoreline (950 ft from Saint-Florent) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep600 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 11 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. 33 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.4 mi): for deeper dives, 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.
