Tide coefficient 91 for the 6:02 am high tide and 87 for the 6:29 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 14.9 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (19.9 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (0.7 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

Tides from the Le Croisic station (REFMAR (CAP Atlantique)), 3.3 mi from La Turballe. Times and heights are its predictions.

Sea and waves

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph ENE · gusts 15

Offshore wind. The coast faces west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

The best window, 7:17 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm also works, with a good size and light offshore wind.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:10 pm to 6:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:36–4:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:08–5:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:46 am–12:46 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:30–8:30 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

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.2 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (750 ft from La Turballe) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
