Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:40 pm, combines the 1:36 pm low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 5:20 pm to 6:30 pm, with the 6:24 pm high tide, moonrise, sunset and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 12:40 am to 2:10 am, with the 1:15 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: small-spotted catshark, ballan wrasse, European plaice and whiting. October is one of the months when these are seen most: European plaice and common cuttlefish. What you can catch

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 4 min to low tide at 1:53 am.

Tide coefficient 88 for the 6:02 am high tide and 87 for the 6:24 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 16.5 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average 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 March 20 (18.9 ft) and the lowest, on July 17 (0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

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 9 to 11 (coefficient 90, 17.3 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 36, 7.4 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Mylor Bridge has no station of its own, so we use the tide at St Ives (Environment Agency), 18 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.

Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta): St Ives (48160), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/48160. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/). Modified: harmonic constants fitted by TidePlanet from the measured tidal levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (353 days).

Sea and waves

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 ft.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:30 am to 2:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell 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: high
  • 12:43–2:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:14–3:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:58–10:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:26–6:26 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: even 0.95 mi from shore the water is less than 16 ft deep.

From the shoreline (1.4 mi from Mylor Bridge) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 33 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 0.95 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Very shallow: the water doesn't reach 16 ft within 0.95 mi. Cast far from the beach, ideally around high tide.
  • 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 0.95 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 0.95 mi out.
