Tides

Tides in Cunit

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 3:11 am 0.6 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:26 am 1.3 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 4:43 pm 0.7 ft
  • ▲ High tide 9:10 pm 1.1 ft

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 5 h 1 min to low tide at 3:50 am.

In Cunit 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), 119 mi from Cunit. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Cunit

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 0.9 ft · 3.4 s from the south (176°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 2.4 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.4 ft
  • Significant0.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest1.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph WNW · gusts 12
Offshore (15 mi SSE)Offshore 15 mph W · gusts 21

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

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 70.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+4.2 °F).

The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, 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, 9:40 am to 12:40 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:15–3:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:46–3:46 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:43–7:43 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 1,000 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.7 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 3 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Cunit) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,000 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.7 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.6 mi
  • 164 ft deep3 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,000 ft): 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
