Where this tide comes from
Cherbourg-en-Cotentin has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cherbourg (TICON-4), 1.2 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 Cherbourg-en-Cotentin
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.2 ft
- Significant2.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.0 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 Tuesday 3: 5.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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.

Surf in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin today
Surf today
Fair- 1.4–2.2 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 10 s from the west, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (8 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 4:41 pm)
- Light: First light 7:15 am · sunrise 7:49 am · sunset 5:51 pm · last light 6:24 pm
- Tide: low 4:16 am (2.9 ft), high 9:41 am (21.1 ft), low 4:41 pm (2.9 ft) and high 10:04 pm (20.7 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 60.8 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit.
- Energy: 121 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has light offshore wind. 7:15 am to 11:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell.
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.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin today

- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.4 ft at 9 s) and rain (0.25 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 60.8 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:24 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 6:45 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:30 am to 11:10 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:29–3:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:00–4:00 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:40–11:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:15–7:15 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 550 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (0.55 mi from Cherbourg-en-Cotentin) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep370 ft
- 33 ft deep550 ft
- 66 ft deep2.9 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 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 550 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.9 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
