Tides in Gerze
Today's high and low tides
- ▲ High tide 12:39 am 0.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 7:01 am -0.1 ft
- ▲ Next high tide 1:22 pm 0.0 ft
- ▼ Low tide 7:17 pm 0.0 ft
↑ Rising The tide is rising. 5 h 12 min to high tide at 1:22 pm.
In Gerze the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.1 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 February 20 (0.1 ft) and the lowest, on May 18 (-0.1 ft).
Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from
Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.7 mi from Gerze. Times and heights are its predictions.
Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf).

The sea at Gerze
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest3.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Sunday 1: 2.6 ft with a period of 4 s, from the east (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →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 66.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.7 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has glassy water, 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, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.
In Gerze the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

The moon in Gerze
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:58–3:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:30–4:30 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:40–11:40 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:20–8:20 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.

- 66 ft deep0.85 mi
- 164 ft deep2.3 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.85 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).
