Where this tide comes from
Petite Rivière de Nippes has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Saint-Louis-du-Sud (TICON-4), 30 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:27–3:27 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:52–9:52 am Minor · moonset · 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.

- 164 ft deep0.45 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 9.8 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 700 ft and 66 ft at 1,250 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.
