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

Where this tide comes from
Leuchars has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Leith (Environment Agency), 29 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 tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Leith (E70824), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E70824. 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 15-minute sea levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).
The sea at Leuchars
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.5 ft
- Significant1.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest2.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.5 ft with a period of 3 s, from the southwest (slight).
Water temperature

Flat- Barely any waves (0.7 ft sets): flat

It’s flat today: almost no waves reach this coast.
- Light: First light 6:32 am · sunrise 7:11 am · sunset 4:39 pm · last light 5:18 pm
- Tide: high 3:17 am (19.5 ft), low 9:08 am (2.8 ft), high 3:44 pm (18.8 ft) and low 9:28 pm (2.9 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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, 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 9:00 am to 9:50 am, with slack water at low tide, little swell, weak current and the sun high, though with 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:34–2:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:05–3:05 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:27–5:27 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, gradualShallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 3 mi out for 33 ft of water.

How far from shore
- 16 ft deep1.3 mi
- 33 ft deep3 mi
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1.3 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 3 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
