↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 7 min to high tide at 4:57 am.
Tide coefficient 81 for the 4:16 am high tide and 80 for the 4:34 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 16.8 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 March 22 (19.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 17 (0.6 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 10 to 11 (coefficient 87, 17.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 20 to 21 (coefficient 46, 9.2 ft).

The sea at Waarde
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 1.6 ft with a period of 3 s, from the north-northeast (smooth).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:00 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, small waves and light wind. Also worth a look from 9:40 am to 11:00 am, with slack water at low tide, small waves and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
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.

The moon in Waarde
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:05–3:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:36–3:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:27–11:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:40–6:40 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
Shallow, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.6 mi out for 33 ft of water.
From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Waarde) out to sea, heading southwest.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep0.5 mi
- 33 ft deep1.6 mi
- 66 ft deep2 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 2.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.6 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.3 mi out. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
