Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 8:34 am 7.4 ft · coef. 107
  • ▼ Low tide 4:48 pm 1.6 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 8 min to high tide at 9:01 pm.

Tide coefficient 107 for the 8:34 am high tide and 104 for the 9:01 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.9 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 November 26 (7.5 ft) and the lowest, on July 16 (0.4 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 27 to 28 (coefficient 107, 5.9 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 22, 1.7 ft).

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Swanage

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 2.6 ft · 7.3 s from the west-southwest (237°)
Swell 2.4 ft · 5.9 s from the southwest
Current 3.9 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.3 ft
  • Significant2.6 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest5.3 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.3 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 11 mph WSW · gusts 18
Offshore (7.7 mi SSW)Offshore 12 mph WSW · gusts 17

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.1 ft with a period of 8 s, from the west-southwest (slight).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.2 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 6:18 am to 8:00 am, has a good size, though with wind swell and cross-shore wind. 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with wind swell and cross-shore 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, 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and 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: high
  • 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:47–10:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:10–6:10 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

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 800 ft from shore.

From the shoreline (1 mi from Swanage) out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep500 ft
  • 33 ft deep800 ft
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 800 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.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 800 ft and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.
