Your day at a glance

The best window, 7:20 am to 8:30 am, combines sunrise, falling pressure and some swell. Also good from 2:30 am to 4:30 am, with a major period and falling pressure. Also good from 3:10 pm to 6:10 pm, with a major period, sunset and some swell.

The tide barely moves in Eshera, so it doesn't count in the rating.

Tides

Tides in Eshera

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 7:04 am -0.2 ft
  • ▲ High tide 1:32 pm 0.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 2 h 16 min to low tide at 6:25 pm.

In Eshera the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 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 December 23 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on November 25 (-0.2 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 2.8 mi from Eshera. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

Sea and waves

The sea at Eshera

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 2.1 ft · 5.0 s from the south-southeast (151°)
Swell 2.1 ft · 4.1 s from the south-southeast
Current 0.8 mph toward the ESE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.1 ft
  • Significant2.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest4.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.4 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph NNW · gusts 5
Offshore (9.8 mi WSW)Offshore 5 mph N · gusts 7

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:42 pm can also work, with glassy water, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 5:00 pm to 6:10 pm, with light wind, though with current.

In Eshera the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

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

  • 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 11:21 am–12:21 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:51–8:51 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Eshera) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 33 ft deep1,100 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 164 ft deep0.45 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,100 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.25 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
