  • ▲ High tide 6:08 pm 5.4 ft · coef. 84

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 min to high tide at 6:30 am.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 6:30 am high tide and 84 for the 6:08 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.5 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 October 27 (5.5 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (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)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 96, 4.7 ft range). The smallest, from October 18 to 19 (coefficient 32, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Bonasse has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Point Fortin (TICON-4), 30 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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bonasse

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 1.3 ft · 3.5 s from the east-northeast (68°)
Swell 0.6 ft · 3.5 s from the north-northeast
Current 0.9 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 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 16 mph E · gusts 22

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

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

The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, 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, 6:00 am to 7:30 am, combines slack water at high tide and little swell, though with moderate wind 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.

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: medium
  • 1:44–3:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 8:52–9:52 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:41–9:41 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.

Water depth

Very shallow

Very shallow and flat: 3.1 mi from shore the water is still only about 28 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Bonasse) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1.2 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.2 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
