↑ Rising The tide is rising. 1 h 14 min to high tide at 2:05 am.
Tide coefficient 93 for the 2:05 am high tide and 86 for the 2:12 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 4.1 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?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on February 19 (5.7 ft) and the lowest, on August 13 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
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)
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 27 (coefficient 107, 5.0 ft range). The smallest, on October 4 (coefficient 20, 0.6 ft).

The sea at Port Mathurin
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.9 ft
- Significant5.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest12 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 12 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 12 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 5.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Port Mathurin today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.9 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 4.3 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves; this coast faces away from it
- Moderate cross-shore wind (16 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:02 am)
- Light: First light 4:44 am · sunrise 5:07 am · sunset 5:54 pm · last light 6:16 pm
- Tide: high 2:05 am (4.5 ft), low 8:02 am (1.1 ft), high 2:12 pm (4.9 ft) and low 8:37 pm (0.8 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 77.5 °F–78.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 177 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 5:00 am to 9:00 am, though with a short-period swell and cross-shore wind.
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 in Port Mathurin today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:12 pm): little current from 1:50 pm to 2:30 pm
- 3.7 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (15 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the west (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:05 am (1:40–2:30 am), low tide 8:02 am (7:40–8:20 am), high tide 2:12 pm (1:50–2:30 pm) and low tide 8:37 pm (8:10–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.5 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 77.5–78.4 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:16 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 9:35 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:50 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with some swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 7:30 am to 8:50 am, with slack water at low tide, though with some swell, moderate wind and 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:33–3:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:01–8:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:05–10:05 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 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 0.4 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (2.4 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).
