Where this tide comes from
Porthchapel Beach has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Newlyn (Environment Agency), 6.7 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 tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Newlyn (E72224), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E72224. 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 15-minute sea levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (352 days).
The sea at Porthchapel Beach
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.5 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.4 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west (moderate).

Surf in Porthchapel Beach today
Surf today
Poor- 2.8–4.3 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.5 ft swell at 8 s from the west, a bit short
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:05 pm)
- Light: First light 6:34 am · sunrise 7:07 am · sunset 5:05 pm · last light 5:38 pm
- Tide: low 12:39 am (2.3 ft), high 6:11 am (17.8 ft), low 1:05 pm (2.4 ft) and high 6:33 pm (17.3 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 57.4 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 236 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 2:00 pm to 5:38 pm can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell and onshore wind.
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.

Diving in Porthchapel Beach today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Tidal current running: mid-tide, the water is moving
- 4.2 ft swell at 8 s from the west: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (17 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the southeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 12:39 am (12:20–1:00 am), high tide 6:11 am (5:50–6:30 am), low tide 1:05 pm (12:50–1:20 pm) and high tide 6:33 pm (6:10–6:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 8.5 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.4 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:38 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:56 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 10:30 am, combines weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, though with tidal current, some swell, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:16 am–12:16 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:26–7:26 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,050 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
