In La Croix-Valmer the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.9 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 27 (1.4 ft) and the lowest, on February 19 (0.1 ft).
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.9 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east (slight).

The moon in La Croix-Valmer
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:46–11:46 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:14–8:14 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.
