Tides in Wé
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 1:43 am 0.5 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 8:24 am 4.3 ft · coef. 83
- ▼ Low tide 1:47 pm 2.3 ft
- ▲ High tide 7:38 pm 4.6 ft · coef. 80
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 32 min to high tide at 8:24 am.
Tide coefficient 83 for the 8:24 am high tide and 80 for the 7:38 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.0 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 (5.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 16 (0.0 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
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 9 to 10 (coefficient 91, 3.6 ft range). The smallest, from October 17 to 19 (coefficient 37, 2.1 ft).

The sea at Wé
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.2 ft
- Significant0.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest0.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 1.8 ft with a period of 4 s, from the south (slight).
Water temperature

Your diving day at a glance

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.

The moon in Wé
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,459 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:46–2:46 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:18–3:18 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:45–7:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:54–9:54 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 slopeThe bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.45 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.

- 33 ft deep0.55 mi
- 66 ft deep0.6 mi
- 164 ft deep0.8 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.45 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 0.55 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves). The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland.
