↑ Rising The tide is rising. 2 h 19 min to high tide at 6:09 am.

Tide coefficient 96 for the 6:09 am high tide and 92 for the 6:31 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.1 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 April 19 (6.1 ft) and the lowest, on November 26 (0.2 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)

Sea and waves

The sea at Anse Boileau

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 3.5 ft · 8.9 s from the south-southeast (153°)
Swell 2.6 ft · 7.6 s from the southeast
Current 0.6 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.7 ft
  • Significant3.5 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest7.0 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.0 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph WNW · gusts 6

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 3:00 pm to 6:31 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, 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 12:20 pm to 1:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 5:50 am to 6:30 am, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with 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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:33–3:33 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:08–9:08 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:03–10:03 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,000 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2.9 mi.

From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Anse Boileau) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep800 ft
  • 33 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.9 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,000 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 1,000 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 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.

Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
