↓ Falling The tide is falling. 7 h 18 min to low tide at 1:11 am.
Tide coefficient 108 for the 3:58 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.1 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?

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.
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
Baillif has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Deshaies (TICON-4), 20 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

- Most commonMost common1.0 ft

- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.6 ft with a period of 8 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

Surf in Baillif today
Surf today
Poor- 0.7–1.0 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the north, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (12 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 3:58 pm)
- Light: First light 5:41 am · sunrise 6:03 am · sunset 5:39 pm · last light 6:01 pm
- Tide: low 12:19 am (0.8 ft) and high 3:58 pm (1.9 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 85.6 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 30 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with small waves.
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.

Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the north: some surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (11 mph)

- Slack water today: low tide 12:19 am (12:04–12:34 am) and high tide 3:58 pm (2:30–4:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.1 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 85.6 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:01 pm. Waning gibbous (91%), rising at 7:52 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:50 am to 11:50 am, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:59–8:59 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:22–8:22 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 fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 350 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.3 mi.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 31 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; 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 350 ft and 66 ft at 650 ft from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
