2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on February 3 (11.3 ft) and the lowest, on September 11 (0.2 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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 93, 9.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 35, 3.7 ft).

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the Urt station (REFMAR (Vigicrues)), 0.8 mi from Urt. Times and heights are its predictions.

The sea at Urt
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.8 ft
- Significant7.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest15 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 15 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 15 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 7.7 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature

Diving in Urt today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 6.8 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph)
- 0.1 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 1:06 am (12:50–1:21 am), high tide 6:30 am (6:15–6:45 am), low tide 1:30 pm (1:10–1:45 pm) and high tide 6:54 pm (6:39–7:10 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.3 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 63.7 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:31 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:16 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 10:30 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and a big swell. Also worth a look from 12:40 pm to 2:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell.
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.

The moon in Urt
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:59–3:59 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:07–11:07 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:46–7:46 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 650 ft. 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 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.
