Where this tide comes from
Barneville-Plage has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Diélette (TICON-4), 13 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 Barneville-Plage
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Wednesday 4: 1.9 ft with a period of 3 s, from the east-northeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.8 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.
Water about normal for late October.

Surf in Barneville-Plage today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.6 ft swell at 9 s from the west, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (6 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 9:25 am)
- Light: First light 7:17 am · sunrise 7:50 am · sunset 5:51 pm · last light 6:24 pm
- Tide: low 3:46 am (4.5 ft), high 9:25 am (32.0 ft), low 4:10 pm (4.6 ft) and high 9:50 pm (30.8 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 57.0 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:17 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with small waves.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.4 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- 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.
