    7.5 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.

The water rises and falls 28.6 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.

Where this tide comes from

A · Official station

Tides from the Ilfracombe station (Environment Agency), 4.9 mi from Woolacombe. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Woolacombe

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 5.0 ft · 9.0 s from the west-southwest (258°)
Swell 4.2 ft · 8.6 s from the west-southwest
Current 1.6 mph toward the S

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common2.5 ft
  • Significant5.0 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest9.9 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.9 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 6 mph SSE · gusts 12
Offshore (5.6 mi NNW)Offshore 11 mph SSW · gusts 18

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

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 56.2 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

The best window, 5:00 pm to 5:32 pm, has a good size. 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:30 am to 7:30 am, with slack water at high tide and weak current, though with a big swell, moderate wind and low light.

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
  • 12:39–2:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:11–3:11 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:01–11:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:15–6:15 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 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.9 mi.

From the shoreline (0.4 mi from Woolacombe) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 66 ft deep1.7 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
