Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

The sea at Fillan
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.4 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with strong wind. Also worth a look from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, with little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current and fresh 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:48–3:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:20–4:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high 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
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 260 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1,150 ft.
From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Fillan) out to sea, heading northeast.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep200 ft
- 33 ft deep260 ft
- 66 ft deep410 ft
- 164 ft deep1,150 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 51 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 260 ft and 66 ft at 410 ft 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. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 2.3 mi out. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
