Where this tide comes from
Gatteville-le-Phare has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Cherbourg (TICON-4), 16 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.9 ft with a period of 6 s, from the northeast (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.3 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
