↓ Falling The tide is falling. 9 h 48 min to low tide at 4:42 am.

Tide coefficient 112 for the 12:15 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 1.2 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 24 (0.8 ft) and the lowest, on July 13 (-0.8 ft).

Mixed, mainly diurnal: on many days there is only one high and one low tide.

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Les Irois has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.7 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 Les Irois

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Waves 1.9 ft · 5.4 s from the southeast (131°)

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.0 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:40 am to 12:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and the sun high, though with 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.

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

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:32–3:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:04–4:04 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:57–9:57 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:10–9:10 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

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.45 mi.

From the shoreline (500 ft from Les Irois) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.45 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.8 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.8 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

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