The water rises and falls 2.0 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 March 20 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (0.1 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)

Where this tide comes from
Saint-André has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sainte Marie (TICON-4), 8.8 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

- Highest expectedHighest7.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Surf in Saint-André today
Surf today
Fair- 2.2–3.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.2 ft swell at 7 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (3 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:50 am)
- Light: First light 5:14 am · sunrise 5:37 am · sunset 6:26 pm · last light 6:49 pm
- Tide: high 2:55 am (2.4 ft), low 8:50 am (1.1 ft), high 2:36 pm (2.6 ft) and low 9:22 pm (0.6 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 77.4 °F–78.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 90 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:49 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:40 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:00 am to 9:50 am, with slack water at low tide and light wind, though with some swell 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,557 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:05–4:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:30–8:30 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:41–10:41 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 0.9 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 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
