Your day at a glance

The best window, 6:30 am to 7:10 am, combines the 6:11 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also worth a try from 6:20 pm to 7:20 pm, with the 6:33 pm high tide, moonrise and some swell, though with moderate wind. Also good from 12:30 am to 1:40 am, with the 12:39 am low tide, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

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

Tide coefficient 90 for the 6:11 am high tide and 87 for the 6:33 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 15.5 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 March 21 (18.4 ft) and the lowest, on August 14 (0.9 ft).

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 95, 16.2 ft range). The smallest, from October 19 to 20 (coefficient 33, 5.9 ft).

Where this tide comes from

Tides from the Newlyn station (Environment Agency), 1.1 mi from South Pier. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at South Pier

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 4.6 ft · 8.7 s from the west-southwest (258°)
Swell 3.5 ft · 8.8 s from the west
Current 0.4 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.3 ft
  • Significant4.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest9.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph S · gusts 17

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

Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 4.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 9:10 am to 11:30 am, with weak current and the sun high, though with tidal current, some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with weak current, though with tidal current and moderate wind.

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
  • 1:48–3:48 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
  • 6:25–7:25 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 1,300 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,300 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,300 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. 33 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.4 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
