Tide coefficient 79 for the 12:25 pm high tide and 75 for the 11:10 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.3 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?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on December 25 (0.9 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.9 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Dame-Marie has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 6.6 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Sea and waves

The sea at Dame-Marie

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 1.0 ft · 6.9 s from the northeast (52°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.5 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest2.1 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.1 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 west and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any 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.

The best window, 11:30 am to 1:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, with little swell, light wind and weak current.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:36–4:36 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:09–5:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:04–11:04 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:13–10:13 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 180 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,050 ft.

From the shoreline (700 ft from Dame-Marie) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep90 ft
  • 33 ft deep180 ft
  • 66 ft deep400 ft
  • 164 ft deep1,050 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 55 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 180 ft and 66 ft at 400 ft from shore.

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

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
