↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 10 min to high tide at 4:57 am.

Tide coefficient 79 for the 4:57 am high tide and 77 for the 5:17 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 16.2 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, small waves, light wind and the sun high. Also good from 4:40 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, small waves and light wind. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:40 pm, with small waves, light wind and the sun high, though with tidal 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
  • 2:08–4:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:41–4:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:45 am–12:45 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:36–7:36 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 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Walsoorden) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
