Where this tide comes from
Saint-Valery-en-Caux has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Dieppe (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.

Surf in Saint-Valery-en-Caux today
Surf today
Poor- 1.1–1.7 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the west, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (5 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 1:24 pm)
- Light: First light 7:08 am · sunrise 7:41 am · sunset 5:40 pm · last light 6:13 pm
- Tide: high 1:06 am (31.1 ft), low 8:05 am (4.5 ft), high 1:24 pm (31.0 ft) and low 8:29 pm (4.4 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 57.9 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 34 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:08 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind. 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with small waves and 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.

- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:13 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 7:30 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance

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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.7 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
