Tides

Tides in Marseille Bompard

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:59 am 0.4 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:26 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:46 pm 1.0 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 4 min to high tide at 10:06 am.

In Marseille Bompard the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.8 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 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (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)

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Marseille station (UHSLC, TICON-4), 1.4 mi from Marseille Bompard. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Marseille Bompard

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.7 ft · 3.8 s from the west (270°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 3.4 s from the west
Current 0.6 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.7 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NE · gusts 6
Offshore (6.0 mi WSW)Offshore 7 mph N · gusts 12

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

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 68.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.2 °F).

  • 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 10:52–11:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:18–8:18 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 650 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Marseille Bompard) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep440 ft
  • 33 ft deep650 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 650 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 650 ft and 66 ft at 0.55 mi from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
