Tides in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 3:59 am 0.6 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 10:05 am 1.4 ft
- ▼ Low tide 5:32 pm 0.8 ft

In Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône 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 (1.5 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)

Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces south 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: 3.1 ft with a period of 4 s, from the north-northwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 64.8 °F by Wednesday 4.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:05–4:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:38–4:38 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:55–11:55 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 1.2 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
- 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 1.2 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.2 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
