Tides

Tides in Montgat

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 10:13 am 1.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 5:49 pm 0.8 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:49 pm 1.0 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 10 min to low tide at 3:50 am.

In Montgat the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.7 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on November 27 (1.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 3 (0.1 ft).

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

No significant tide

Tides from the Port-Vendres station (TICON-4), 84 mi from Montgat. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Montgat

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.4 ft · 4.0 s from the east (79°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 3.5 s from the east-northeast
Current 0.2 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph N · gusts 6
Offshore (12 mi E)Offshore 8 mph ESE · gusts 13

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 4.5 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 70.3 °F by Wednesday 4.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+5.6 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

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, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Montgat the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:16–4:16 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:48–4:48 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:56–11:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:39–8:39 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 490 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Montgat) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep490 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.35 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 490 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • 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 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 mi from shore.
