Where this tide comes from
Bowleaze Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at West Bay Harbour (TICON-4), 16 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.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.4 ft
- Significant2.8 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.7 ft with a period of 8 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Surf in Bowleaze Cove today
Surf today
Fair- 1.5–2.4 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.5 ft swell at 10 s from the west-southwest, average; it hits this coast at an angle
- 3.1 ft wind swell at 4 s: messy waves
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:03 pm)
- Light: First light 6:20 am · sunrise 6:54 am · sunset 4:52 pm · last light 5:26 pm
- Tide: low 12:45 am (1.3 ft), high 7:32 am (14.2 ft), low 1:03 pm (1.5 ft) and high 7:56 pm (13.8 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.

- Energy: 138 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with wind swell. 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm also works, with light offshore wind. 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm can also work, with light offshore wind, though with wind swell.
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, 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, combines light wind and weak current, though with tidal 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:32–2:32 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:03–3:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:50–10:50 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:12–6:12 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. 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 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
