Your day at a glance

The best window, 1:10 pm to 2:10 pm, combines the 1:10 pm low tide, a major period and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 6:20 am to 7:50 am, with the 7:18 am high tide and sunrise, though with rising pressure and moderate wind. Also worth a try from 12:40 am to 1:50 am, with the 12:51 am low tide and a major period, though with rising pressure and moderate wind.

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: small-spotted catshark and common sole. What you can catch

  • Low tide at 1:10 pm: more sand
  • Cloudy (95% cloud cover)
  • Feels like 55 °F: chilly for the beach
  • Moderate onshore wind (13 mph): choppy water
  • Dangerous for swimming: 7.2 ft waves every 9 s; high rip current risk
  • Water at 59 °F (very cold)

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 7.2 ft

    7.2 ft waves every 9 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 59 °F

    Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 1 · SPF 15

    Max UV 1 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

  • Wind 13 mph

    Moderate onshore wind (13 mph).

  • Tide & sand 12:51 am

    Low tide at 12:51 am and 1:10 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 7:18 am and 7:39 pm. Coefficient 100 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

We don't have data on jellyfish, sargassum or beach closures: ask the lifeguard or check with the local beach authority. How it works · The next 7 days

↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 41 min to low tide at 1:31 am.

Tide coefficient 100 for the 7:18 am high tide and 97 for the 7:39 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 14.9 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 December 26 (17.0 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (0.8 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 26 to 28 (coefficient 101, 14.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 20 (coefficient 30, 4.1 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Salcombe has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Dartmouth (Environment Agency), 12 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): Dartmouth (46154), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/46154. 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 (356 days).

Sea and waves

The sea at Salcombe

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 4.8 ft · 9.4 s from the west-southwest (239°)
Swell 4.8 ft · 7.9 s from the west-southwest

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.4 ft

  • Highest expectedHighest9.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph WSW · gusts 10
Offshore (16 mi S)Offshore 10 mph SW · gusts 14

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.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.4 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:32 pm, has a good size, though with onshore wind. 7:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with big surf 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.

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, 12:40 pm to 1:40 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 7:00 am to 8:10 am, with slack water at high tide and weak current, though with a big swell 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: high
  • 12:38–2:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:09–3:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:53–10:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:20–6:20 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.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Salcombe) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1 mi
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep2.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
