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)

The sea at Charron
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.8 ft
- Significant1.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.1 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 55.9 °F by Wednesday 4.

Diving in Charron today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around low tide (1:48 pm): little current from 1:30 pm to 2:03 pm
- 1.1 ft swell at 9 s from the west: barely any surge
- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.0 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 1:20 am (1:00–1:35 am), high tide 6:36 am (5:50–7:10 am), low tide 1:48 pm (1:30–2:03 pm) and high tide 7:05 pm (6:10–7:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.0 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 58.8 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:00 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind. Also good from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 7:10 am to 9:00 am, with light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:30–4:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 3:02–5:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:34 am–12:34 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 3.1 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. 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.
